The Yoder family traces its roots back to Barbara Yoder, the first Amish Yoder to arrive in America in 1714, believed to have had eight sons. The family has Swiss origins, with significant migration to North America, particularly in Berks County, Pennsylvania, where early Yoders, including Hans and Jost Yoder, became prominent figures. Over the years, descendants spread across various regions, including North Carolina and the Midwest, contributing to the community and maintaining a strong sense of family heritage through legal documents and historical records.
