Abstract
We describe the gene frequency distributions for 29
different blood group, serum, and erythrocytic proteins for three
Mennonite communities from Kansas and Nebraska and compare
their gene frequencies with those of Amish, Hutterite, and Mennonite
populations using the topological method of Harpending and Jenkins
(1973). Subdivision of these communities into congregations reveals
that the "fission-fusion" model best characterizes the relationship
between the genetic patterns and historical events. These Mennonite
populations, although reproductively isolated at the turn of this
century, are presently entering the mainstream of US rural culture.
