  • CA CMBS CMBS Personal Papers:
  • Fonds
  • 1930-1977

The Abram J. Dick fonds consists mostly of materials not created by Dick. Much of the family history and genealogy is photocopied from another source. The songs, poetry, and plays were probably copied for Dick's work in his leadership role in the Sunday School. The music is written in Ziffern and many of the textual materials are in the German Gothic script. Many of the published pamphlets appear to have been collected for Sunday School presentations. Others are of a devotional nature.

Adalbert Goertz

  • CA CMBS CMBS Personal Papers
  • Fonds
  • 1963-1999

The material in this collection has been brought together at various times. It consists primarily of articles that Goertz has written about Mennonites in Prussia from the late 1600s to the early 1900s such as immigration lists, church records, and baptisms. A small portion of the material is about his own life in Prussia and the United States. Most of the material is in German; however because of the nature of the material, knowledge of German is not essential to use these documents. There is also one audio cassette of a presentation, "Tracing Mennonite Roots in Prussian and Eastern Europe", given at a Genealogy and Family History Seminar that was sponsored by the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society.
