The Yoder family lineage traces back to pioneer Christian Yoder, who settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania, and had eight children. The family descends from Yost Yoder, born in Switzerland in 1734, and his son Henry, born in 1756, who married Catherine Detweiler and lived in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The Yoders became part of the Anabaptist movement during the Protestant Reformation, facing persecution for their beliefs, and their lineage extends over 642 years and at least 23 generations, with notable ancestors including Jost Yoder, a governor in 1428.
