My name is Marilyn Lerch and I can be reached at marilynlerch@yahoo.com. I grew up in the Coopersburg area but now live in VA. However I visit often in the Lehigh Valley. I come from a long line of Brethren and Mennonites, my Mennonite ancestors immigrating to the Deep Run Mennonite area in the early 1700s. You are probably familiar with all the Frakturs activity in the Deep Run area.

Your article mentions Frakturs done by the Dunkers. I am aware of many Frakturs by the Ephrata Cloister, Mennonites, Schwenkfelder, Lutherans and Reformed faiths. My particular interest is the “Dunkerds” now called the Church of the Brethren because I was raised in that church and am now one of its retired ministers. I’ve looked many places in PA, OH etc and have only seen about 5 Brethren Frakturs. Sometimes the Cloister fractures are called Brethren but that is not the case. What Frakturs are you finding that were created by the Dunkers? Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
