Missionary group

Seven people pose informally on a porch of a house. They are perhaps related to Alice Bachert's missionary work in Colombia, Cyril and Lillian Forth's work in Nigeria with Soudan Interior Mission, or the work of a Mennonite mission organization. The photograph was likely used to illustrate Stirling Avenue's commitment to overseas missions.

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.
