Waisenamt Regulations and minutes

This sub series consists of various versions of the Chortitzer Waisenamt Regulations, from an early copy of the 1810 version to the published Franz Dyck version of 1880, a version reprinted several times later. Two copies of the printed version dated 1930 have been placed in File #10. Other relevant Waisenamt documents in this box are those that pertain to the structure and function of the organization, including minutes, elections and correspondence with other Waisenamts in other parts of Canada and even Paraguay, as well as correspondence with government officials such as the Provincial Registrar General Battram.
Location: Volume 6310.

Waisenamt Correspondence

This sub series consists of correspondence to the Waisenamt grouped chronologically (pre-1900, 1900-1919, 1920-1929, 1930-1939, 1940-1949, 1950-1967) and then alphabetically within each time frame. In the 1920s and 1930s there is correspondence from families in Mexico and in the 1930s-1960s correspondence from families in Paraguay.
Location: volume 6326-6328.

Estate Records

This sub series consists of mortgages, land titles, correspondence and other legal documents regarding the winding up of an estate in which the Waisenamt was involved. The groupings have been sorted alphabetically but within each grouping kept as they were prior to 2016.
Location: volume 6329-6331.

Teilungs Kontrakt (Agreements regarding distribution of estates)

This sub series consists of "Teilungs Kontrakt." which is a type of last will and testament, and was used by Mennonites for hundreds of years, even before coming to Manitoba. Usually, upon the death of a spouse, 50% of the estate was given to the surviving spouse and the other half evenly divided among the children. If the children were minors, the money plus interest was held in trust until they reached the age of majority. If the children were minors and both parents had died, guardians were appointed. Over time the secular "will and last testament" became the norm, a large part of the function of the Waisenamt disappeared. Money held in trust could be lent out, and interest gathered. Abbreviations in the records often represent names of respective Waisenamt managers: DW – Diedrich Wiebe; CTF – Cornelius T. Friesen; HGK – Hein G. Klippenstein; JE – Jacob Enns. Note: when the term "(bound)" is used in regards to several of the Estate Appraisals & Valuations files, where documents have been bound loosely (with string) after the fact. In some cases the binding may be such that facing pages are not related to each other. These files will have a special printout explaining how to navigate the volume.
Location: Volume 6311.

Kapital Bücher = ledgers listing capital

This series consists of financial ledgers used to keep track of financial capital the Waisenamt held. Files 1-4 are indexes only. Some capital ledgers include transfers of money to the Fürsorge Komitee in Paraguay, particularly Capital Ledgers “A” Chortitz (File #9) & “A” Osterwick (#10), which are otherwise mainly duplicates of each other. There are other duplicate ledgers, e.g. Ledger “B”file #11 and Ledger “C” #12 are virtually identical. The date on the cover of the Ledger is the date the Ledger was created. The dates given in the file name also include the year of the latest entries in the Ledger, often in a different hand writing or different colour of ink. Ledgers frequently list heirs to an estate, with full name, usually with birth date and sometimes with village name. E.g. Ledger “D” (file #15) image 1281 lists the heirs of Cornelius Wall of Bergfeld as recipients of estate money upon his death, giving only date of birth and in one case date of death. Abbreviations represent names of respective Waisenamt managers: CD – Cornelius Dueck; DW – Diedrich Wiebe; CTF – Cornelius T. Friesen; HGK – Hein G. Klippenstein; JE – Jacob Enns; HH – Hein Hildebrand. “Kapital” and “Capital” are used interchangeably: the file name takes the spelling used on the cover or first page of the respective ledger.
Location: volume 6312-6313.

Schuldbuch = Debt Ledger

This sub series consists of ledgers records debt and is divided into Part I and Part II; the first contains debt ledgers/files originating in Russia, and the second part contains the earliest debt ledgers/files in Manitoba (Chortitzer Waisenamt on East Reserve).
Part one records of debts in Bergthal Colony, Russia consist of several of the ledgers which have been used for two purposes, the first part is the original debtors ledger, and the second part a much later type of entry, with no apparent connection to the earlier part. Maybe done this way to use up available space in existing ledgers.
Location: volume 6314-6316.

Einnahmen und Ausgaben = Income and Disbursements

This sub series consists of hard-cover ledgers detailing the financial transactions recording the day-to-day income and disbursements. Each page gives the running totals at the bottom which are forwarded to the top of the corresponding next page. These ledgers reveal the amounts that were handled by the Waisenamt both in its function as a trust company for the orphans and widows, and those amounts that pertained to its function as a bank. Note: Files #14 & #15 were not digitized.
Location: volume 6317.

Firstly, (volume 6318) Waisenamt receipt books filed in chronological order and one file with 4 Passbooks for the Chortitz branch of the Banque D’Hochelaga, dated 1917-1930.

The box also contains several envelopes with receipts of various kinds including money order stubs. Fourthly, (volume 6321) receipt books (payment against debt) and promissory notes. This series has not been digitized.
