The place names and country

given below are from "List of Hutterite Colonies in North America" (pages 359-362, part of
Appendix Fifteen) of the book "Hutterite
Society" (first edition, 403 pages) by John A. Hostetler, published © copyright 1974 by Johns Hopkins University Press of Baltimore, Maryland; ISBN
0-8018-1584-3. FEEFHS thanks Johns Hopkins University Press for its permission to republish this list of Hutterite colonies and thus make it more widely available to genealogy record searchers thru the FEEFHS Web Site. FEEFHS also gives thanks to retired sociology and anthropology professor John A. Hostetler (formerly of Temple University in Philadelphia Pennsylvania) for his encouragement and help of our efforts to make Hutterite sources and information of value more widely accessable to genealogy record searchers worldwide. At the time of Hostetler's first edition (1973-1974) he reported there were 229 Hutterite colonies in North America. He estimated they contained about 20,000 Hutterites. A 1996 estimate on the Internet states at least 400 colonies now exist with an average of 90 members per colony for a total of betwen 36,000 and 40,000 Hutteries. An unknown number of other Hutterites in North America left communal life to become "Prairieleuts". They will not be found in the records of these groups of colonies, nor is a Juliusleut group in Ontario, Canada where relationships with fourty persons of the Enz family were severed in the early 1950s. Also a related "Society of Brothers" (SOB), a "Buderhof" splinter group founded in Germany in 1920 by Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) that spent some time in Paraguay is not included in this lists. In 1974 there were the SOB communities of Woodcrest in Rifton, NY, Oak Lane (became New Meadow Run) in Farmington Pennsylvania, Evergreen in Norfolk, Connecticut and Darvell at Robertsbridge, Sussex, England. In 1973-74 the SOB under the leadership of the Rifton New York colony is said to have 1,000 persons. In 1996 they are thought to have about 300 persons per colony and perhaps as many as 8 communities. However at present time they are not part of the original Hutterite group founded in 1528 and thus not part of these lists either. This information was transcribed by the webmaster into a Works database and reformatted into a "user friendly" flat file database for the web. In doing so the Colony "town" address was augmented with the county for U. S. Colonies. The province or state location was added to the "Colony Name" and "Parent Colony" columns for clarity as some colonies of the same name exist in both Canada and the U.S. The Schmiedeleut was led by Michael Waldner who was called "Schmied-Michael" (he was a blacksmith and a preacher) - thus giving the name of the congregation Schmiedeleut.

They moved a short distance upstream to crownland at Radichev in 1802. In 1842 they relocated to the south near Mennonite colonies northwest of the Sea of Azov in Taurida province. 1879 .............
