Abstract

The past year has been a very busy and fruitful one for the Swiss American Historical Society (SAHS), with many developments and achievements. We formed new partnerships, engaged in outreach, published a book, began our centennial plans, and gained 35 new members (many of whom are not Swiss)!

2025 began with us awarding a grant to Celeste Onchuck, an SAHS member and doctoral student who is writing her dissertation about Huldrych Zwingli and her ancestors, the Gallmann family who immigrated to South Carolina (her article exploring some of this is in this issue). The grant allowed Celeste to travel to Zurich and do some archival research there. We would like to help other students in the future who are doing historical research and writing related to Swiss or Swiss-American history. Last year was also an important year as it was the 500th anniversary of the founding of Anabaptism in Zurich in 1525. We featured several articles on it, along with trivia questions for each 2025 issue of the SAHS Review. Many Swiss-Americans still have ties to Anabaptism, including the Amish, Mennonites and Baptists.
