Genealogical Resources

Prepared by Sam Steiner, with Gord Isaac and Reg Good

This bibliography lists genealogical resources held in Conrad Grebel University College and the Mennonite Archives of Ontario. These resources are available to be used in the Conrad Grebel College Reading Room only; they do not circulate.

You can also search for these resources through the TRELLIS library catalog (Conrad Grebel is part of this system) and the Mennonite Archives of Ontario website.

The bibliography is provided as a service only. Simple queries will be answered as staff time allows. The Library does not have the staff to provide research assistance; questions that take more than 15 minutes to check will not be searched. Questions or comments should be directed to Laureen Harder-Gissing, Librarian and Archivist.

This bibliography is available in eight sections; it has been divided in order to reduce file sizes:

Databases
Genealogical Book Resources
Microfilms (Census, etc.)
Periodicals
"Mennonite" Cemetery Records in Ontario
Bibles containing genealogical date
Baptism, Birth, Census, Death and Marriage Registers
Genealogies (by family name) (As of October 1999 published genealogies are no longer added to this listing since all published genealogies are included in the online library catalog; please use the University of Waterloo's TRELLIS library catalog (Conrad Grebel is part of this system) and do a subject search on the family name of interest, e.g. "Martin family". The system may suggest you "see also" entries under another name, e.g. "Webber family" in addition to "Weber family". You can also search by author or title if you are looking for a specific item.
