Hi! My name is Louisa M Bauman.

I am an enthusiastic researcher of Anabaptist history, having been inspired by stories about my ancestors, and what they suffered for religious freedom during the time of the Spanish Inquisition.

I had so many questions—such as, what was their life like before the Reformation?

It must have been a very bad life; why else would they give up so much, and allow themselves to be martyred for their faith? How did their faith sustain them throughout centuries of persecution?

I have found so many stories, and so many truths that need to be re-told, which will keep me busy for a long time to come.

I live in Ontario, Canada, with my husband and I have eight children.
