Identification of Ethnic Settlement Regions: Amish-Mennonites in Ohio.

Kent, Robert B.; Neugebauer, Randall J.

Rural Sociology, v55 n3 p425-41 Fall 1990

Examines four methods of identifying Amish-Mennonite settlement: local population data on religious affiliation; location of Amish church districts and Mennonite churches; topographic maps; and surnames and cadastral maps. Topographic maps proved unsuitable. Other methods produced reasonable approximations of Amish and Mennonite settlement. (TES)
