A Century of Emigration from Affoltern Am Albis, Canton Zurich, SwitzerlandThis is the story of emigration from one Swiss village, Affoltern am Albis. The reasons for this emigration were twofold: the Mennonites left for religious reasons; the Reformed left for economic reasons. There were several Mennonite families who left this village and are mentioned in the 1649 1651 list, in the 1661 list, and again in the 1680 list which are all included in this book.
