Recent demographic studies of the Amish consistently find that their families remain large, yet there is variation, especially when comparing fertility and other population characteristics across different affiliations. This article explores the Swiss Amish, a group for which demographic studies are practically non-existent. Based on data from the four largest Swiss Amish communities, both total fertility and birth intervals are examined. Recommendations for additional research of Swiss Amish population characteristics are discussed.
