Anna Andres Papers

  • US BCMLA 00/MS.488
  • Collection
  • 1950-1960

The papers consist of photocopies of Anna Andres’ handwritten genealogical compilations. These are more than just notes; rather, they are well-organized and lineage-linked compilations of genealogical and biographical information. Folders A-K are all concerned with the descendants of a Hans Woelcke who lived in Freienhuben in the mid-1700s. Other folders are concerned with a variety of other Prussian Mennonite families. Many of the photocopies are very poor quality. The original documents are apparently still in private hands in Germany.
