The Mennonites that went through Russia and the Ukraine are completely removed from the branch that went through Switzerland and the Netherlands, actually - ethinically speaking, they're far more closely related to the PA Dutch. Theologically/religiously/whatever else, the Swiss Mennonites are closer to the Amish, but the R/U (German) sort aren't at all related. I'm just speaking ethnically, not culturally or anything. I went to private Mennonite schools my whole life and had more of the history shoved down my throat than I ever wanted, given that it's not my own ethnic history. :P

Ulster! Cool. I was very close to there! :)
