Surnames - Another Resource

Canada 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)
