Marriages in Plauschwarren, East Prussia:
1778-1802

Compiled by Adalbert Goertz

Sources for Mennonites in Ostpreussen are scarce. For the district of Gumbinnen or Prussian Lithuania only two older Mennonite church books survived the war as film copies. The Lutheran church books of Tilsit-Land contain some Mennonite records (1). Other records on Mennonite land ownership have been preserved in the Berlin archives (2). A number of the Plauschwarren names are identical with those in the Thiensdorf-Markushof church in West Prussia (3)
