This sub series consists an alphabetized ledger of co-signers who guaranteed loans that individual members of the community obtained from the Waisenamt. These members are named and cross-referenced to the Schuldbuch (Debt Ledger) in which the loan was recorded. Most of the entries are stroked out, likely meaning that the loan has been paid and the guarantor is free of obligation in that regard. Many auctions are grouped within one notebook hence the numbering system.
Location: volume 6322-6323.

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.
