Amish beginning

Sorry, I'm late again!
And I've read what people said about amish over here... and I don't have too many things to add, so I diceded to talk about their beginning, cause I don't remenber anything wrote about this.

The Amish was founded as a reformer group by Jacob Amman (*1644 + 1720), in Switzerland, Europe. They was trying to restore some of the early pratices of the Mennonites. So, all their faith and praticies came from the writings of Menno Simons (*1496 +1561).
During de 17th century part of them has separated, cause of the several disciplins of the Mennonites. Part of them went to Pennsylvana, United States, by the beggining of the 18th century, starting their own culture over there.
Today there is about 180,000 adults in the US Amish comunity, in 22 states. Almost everyone borned Amish.
