    The history of the Amish church began with a schism in 1693 in Switzerland led by Jakob Ammann, whose followers became known as the Amish. Many Amish emigrated to the United States, where most now live in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio. Amish communities prefer simple lifestyles, with many practicing farming. Amish settlements are usually not connected to electricity networks and will produce their own power when needed, often with diesel generators.

    The history of the Amish church began with a 

    schism in Switzerland within a group of Swiss


    and Alsatian Anabaptists in 1693 led by Jakob Ammann.[1] Those who followed Ammann became
    known as Amish. Many of them emigrated to the United States. Today, most of the Amish live
    in Pennsylvania (Lancaster County), Indiana and Ohio, in the United States. Many Amish people
    prefer simple lifestyles. They are usually farmers. Many Amish settlements are not connected to
    the electricity network. When they need electricity, they usually produce it themselves, often with
    diesel-powered engines.

    Amish is not a race. It’s a cultural / religious lifestyle.


    They love volleyball. Amish guys used to roll up their overall cuffs and
    play lake-beach volleyball on Fridays
    One size overall does not fit all.
    People practice ‘Amishism’ differently in different parts of the country.
    Where some extreme groups ban colors and belts from their wardrobe,

    Amish do not hang personal portraits, though some may display simple
    framed images commemorating a child’s birth, for example. Wall clocks
    are also very popular in Amish homes, some having extensive mechanical
    workings and playing a variety of tunes on the striking of the hour.

    As far as the home’s exterior, Amish women often tend beautiful flower
    gardens and Amish homes may have fairly elaborate landscaping,
    particularly in more liberal settlements. The most traditional Amish
    generally do not tend flower gardens and may have a very hardscrabble
    appearance to their homes and yards.
