  • Catching this video a little after the fact, but I wondered if you knew any Amish folks by the name of; Bioler, Byler, Beiler or Beyeler They are all pronounced the same which would spell something like this; Biler. Just thought I'd ask. Thanks...

  • @goofydog2 Yes, I have an old friend Andy Byler, in Applecreek Ohio, he runs a furniture store, and an online company, History1776, that sells historical documents to schools and people that are interested in history (like the Declaration of Independence)

  • @mrdeleted - that's cool! I'm a Byler on my grandmother's side. We all understood that a son from Jacob Beiler (same pronunciation), the 1st over from Switzerland, had converted to the Amish faith sometime after settling in Penn. I thought he had changed the spelling to Boiler, again, same pronunciation. But who knows? Thanks!

  • @goofydog2 Then we may be distant relatives :-) I know that someone about 5 generations back had a name like that.

  • @mrdeleted - I was reading some of the information/theories concerning the Byler connection to the Amish. ... Allen Beiler, to name but one expert, believes the evidence points to Jacob's son Christopher, by Elizabeth Kallen, stating that it appears he, Christopher; "married a woman from the Amish community near Centerport, Pennsylvania. It is more probable that Christopher Beiler, rather than Pioneer Jacob, is the progenitor of the large Amish Beiler-Byler community in America." Go figure?

  • @philipsfree So true.

  • @runrunawaynow if you truly knew the hell that we grew up in you wouldn't say that.

  • @runrunawaynow Yes some of them do.

  • @82mmafighter Sounds good, you know a community you will be going to?

  • @mrdeleted i like this way to live i m intrested going too one church of them
