Prussia to Russia Mennonite Inheritance Documents

from the Odessa Archives

Glenn H. Penner

[email protected]

The Mennonites of West Prussia had a sophisticated inheritance scheme based on the Flemish inheritance laws.

Married couples owned their land jointly and all natural children of a deceased individual had equal inheritance

rights. When a Mennonite of West Prussia died the two men who were the executors of the estate contacted all

heirs. If any heirs lived in Russia they also had to be contacted. The Russian heirs would then have a document

written, the Vollmacht, granting power of attorney to the two Prussian men. This short document often has

information critical in connecting the Russian and Prussian relatives.

The following list contains the names of Russian relatives receiving an inheritance mentioned in these documents. I

have not included the names of anyone who was not part of these inheriting families, including the names of the

guardians of minors, the relatives in Prussia or the executors of the Prussian estates. The list also includes the

villages where these Russian Mennonite heirs were supposed to live at the time the Vollmacht was written and the

Inventory and file number in the Odessa archival collection where these files may be found. I also include a

column of comments I have added for clarification.
