Marriages in the Elbing-Ellerwald Mennonite Church: 1779-1795

by Adalbert Goertz

The diary of Altester Gerhard Wiebe (28 Aug 1725 - 26 Nov 1796) of the Elbing-Ellerwald Mennonite Church is held in the Mennonitischen Forschungsstelle, 6719 Weierhof, Pfalz, located under Vol. OK 45. Weddings are registered under its chronological listings. Because of the weakened state due to old age of the Altester, Peter Dyck (died 20 Aug 1807) was selected as Mitaltester on 14 June 1795. This caused a split in the congregation which was only healed in 1809. Thus from 1795 until 1809 church record keeping was unsatisfactory.
