The Schmal Documents and

The Kriegsheim Mennonite-Quakers

 

The first three documents were written by Amtsschaffner Schmal of Hochheim. Copies of the originals of these documents, along with the original Mennonite Census lists, were obtained for me by a dear friend in Germany, Katrin Siegels, from the Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe, Nördliche Hildepromenade 2, 76133 Karlsruhe, Germany. I am extremely grateful to Paul Michel for quoting exact reference numbers for each item.

1684 Letter regarding the Quakers document 4337/40 - written in July

1684 "Hochgebohrner" document 4337/42 - written in August

1684 Letter regarding the Mennonites document 4337/75a - written in November

 

There may be more Schmal documents - if so, I will try to get copies and add them to this page.
