Original List of Mennonite Villages in Russia from the DAI Documents Prepared by Tim Janzen

Table 5: Original List of Mennonite Villages in Russia from the DAI Documents Prepared by Tim Janzen

This table contains a list of Mennonite villages that is found in Mirofilms T81607 and T81608 at the United States National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The microfilms contain materials found in files originally at the Duetsches Ausland Institut in Stuttgart, Germany where they were captured by American forces at the end of World War II. This list of 446 villages was compiled by Dr. Karl Stumpp or one of his associates during the German occupation of the Ukraine in 1942 or 1943. I suspect that the information was supplied by a Mennonite official from the Molotschna Colony or the Chortitza Colony. Dr. Stumpp or one of his associates sent the files to Stuttgart from the Ukraine during the German occupation.

Each file consists of a series of typed pages which include basic information about each village such as the year the village was founded, the Mennonite colony or region in Russia or the Ukraine where the village was located, the name of the Mennonite mother colony, and the Russian name for the village if there was one. Not much else is noted beyond this basic information.

A large percentage of the villages are already well known to Mennonite researchers and are documented in publications such as The Mennonite Encyclopaedia, or in the second edition of the Mennonite Historical Atlas. Some of the villages listed in these files are not found in those sources, however.

This table contains the original unmodified data for all the villages using the spellings exactly as they appear in the original documents from the Duetsches Ausland Institut. The following is a list of the files that contain the list of villages and the frame numbers where those files are located on the two microfilms.
