HOW TO USE THE INDEXES:
This site relies on old (and simple) web
technology, so there is not a robust native search feature.
There are
two main ways
to
find what you are looking for.
If you know the
name
, use this
Main
Index
page, where, by clicking the links
above, you can narrow down your search using an
alphabetical list of surnames
(birth
name, or maiden name when applicable).
If you do NOT know
the name
, but you know other specific details
(like exact name of church, or small town, or other unique
biographical information), try an
advanced
Google search
of the MennObits
website, using the following steps:
go to
in the “Site or domain” field,
type or paste:
mcusa-archives.org/MennObits
then type in either
words or exact phrases you are looking for, in any of the
other fields indicated
this is not a
fool-proof search method, but it might help locate
hard-to-find information
There is also a way to find
obituaries by
Year and Periodical
. Here are the Mennonite periodicals indexed:
Herald of Truth
(1864-1908)
Gospel Witness
(1905-1908)
Gospel Herald
(1908-1998)
The Mennonite
(1998-2020)
Mennonite Weekly
Review
(later
Mennonite
World Review)
Anabaptist World
(merger of
The Mennonite
and
Mennonite World Review)
At the bottom of the
Year/Periodical Index, are yearly links for the Lazarus
Project, which seeks to find additional or detailed obituaries
online, either ones missed entirely by the above publications,
or where the publications only printed a brief death notice.
NOTE:
All
the obituaries indexed in these periodicals and Lazarus
Project should also be found in the main
Names
indices.
