Microfilm #528008 from the Mormon collection contains deaths for the period 1742 to 1808. This register contains many Mennonite sounding names but very few designated as such, with the exception of the period 1778 to 1780. The jurisdiction of the Marienau church overlaps with that of the Mennonite church at Rosenort. Since all of the early Rosenort church records were destroyed the Marienau Catholic and Lutheran records are an important source. A translation of the Mennonite entries from the German is given below (my comments in parentheses). The cause of death is also given but not included below.
Abbreviations: y = years, w = weeks, d. = days, dau. = daughter.
