The Amish in several communities in Indiana have published directories of their communities at regular intervals from the 1980s to the present, including [https://www.worldcat.org/title/indiana-amish-directory-elkhart-lagrange-and-noble-counties/oclc/669455401 '''Elkhart-Lagrange-Noble Counties'''], [https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=Indiana+Amish+directory+%3A+Adams+County+and+vicinity&qt=results_page '''Adams-Jay Counties'''], [https://www.worldcat.org/title/amish-directory-allen-county/oclc/1098213689&referer=brief_results '''Allen County and Vicinity''''], and [https://www.worldcat.org/title/amish-mennonite-directory-nappanee-indiana-volume-one/oclc/13943298 '''Nappannee-Kokomo-Milroy'''.] These volumes feature a wealth of information for each family, including husband’s name, wife’s maiden name, the names of each spouse’s parents, children’s names, dates of birth for each individual, children’s marriage partners, the family address, husband’s occupation, and notations of whether each child is living at home, married and living within the community, married and living in another Amish community, single and living outside the family home, or has left the Amish faith. The directories also include history of the communities and maps showing locations of Amish homesteads and schools. | The Amish in several communities in Indiana have published directories of their communities at regular intervals from the 1980s to the present, including [https://www.worldcat.org/title/indiana-amish-directory-elkhart-lagrange-and-noble-counties/oclc/669455401 '''Elkhart-Lagrange-Noble Counties'''], [https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=Indiana+Amish+directory+%3A+Adams+County+and+vicinity&qt=results_page '''Adams-Jay Counties'''], [https://www.worldcat.org/title/amish-directory-allen-county/oclc/1098213689&referer=brief_results '''Allen County and Vicinity''''], and [https://www.worldcat.org/title/amish-mennonite-directory-nappanee-indiana-volume-one/oclc/13943298 '''Nappannee-Kokomo-Milroy'''.] These volumes feature a wealth of information for each family, including husband’s name, wife’s maiden name, the names of each spouse’s parents, children’s names, dates of birth for each individual, children’s marriage partners, the family address, husband’s occupation, and notations of whether each child is living at home, married and living within the community, married and living in another Amish community, single and living outside the family home, or has left the Amish faith.
