Surnames - Another Resource
I've written about surnames on a few occasions, and pointed to the MHSA website where an origins of surnames page has been begun www.mennonitehistory.org/projects/surnames/, but I just added a few notes to it this week. Turns out that Glenn Penner has been quietly publishing articles in the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society's newsletter, Heritage Postings, for a number of years. As far as I know, those have not been digitized, but you can find references to his articles by the respective surnames on the webpage.
The articles I just discovered speak to the Prussian records related to: Gerbrandt, Groening, Hoeppner, Schroeder, Teichroeb, & Wieler.
Other Prussian sources are:
- listed in our Mennonite Genealogical Data Index (choose "Prussia" from the picklist on the left side of www.mennonites.ca,
- Schapansky, Henry (2006).
Mennonite Migrations (and the Old Colony) (available for purchase from the MHSA bookstore) - van Beuningen, Konrad. (1991).
Buch der Menno-Gemeinde Danzig (available in the MHSA library)
In kinship, Judii - for the Mennonite Historical Society of Alberta
