	The Swiss Mennonite Cultural and Historical Association (SMCHA) is a nonprofit organization comprising descendents of immigrant Mennonites who came to the USA in the 1870s from what is now the Ukraine. Their ancestors originated in Switzerland passing through many countries in Europe including France, Germany, Austria and Poland on their way to the Ukraine. Major purposes of the SMCHA are to educate descendents of the Swiss Mennonites on the origin and culture of this group through various cultural events, research activities, maintenance of historic places, etc. There are several thousand of such descendents, many of them located in central Kansas, South Dakota, and other mid-western states. The Swiss Mennonite home pages are considered to be a work in progress. Improvements are always possible. New materials may be added and factual errors will be corrected. Some materials will be added and some may be removed Suggestions for changes of this nature are most welcome and should be forwarded to a web committee.
