Members

Members is our effort to organize Hutterian colony and family records and make the results available in a friendly, accessible format. This involves collecting data from Hutterites, digitizing and compiling them on regular basis, and distributing them back to Hutterites. Members is the most extensive resource on current Hutterite colonies, geography, genealogy, and contact information available.

With our Members apps, you get free access to Hutterian geography, contact, and population data. This aspect of Members is free and available for anyone.

In contrast, we do not make Hutterian genealogy records publicly available. To access this information you must have a Members license, which we offer to Hutterites only.

Members Web App

This is our best app; we recommend it over our native apps on any device that supports it.

It requires a data connection for setup and to get updates, but continues to function in the absence of internet connectivity.

The web app may require authentication with a Google account in addition to your license ID.
