Mit der Veröffentlichung von Bauerschaft Klein-Mimmelage (1236–1700) ist der Grundstein gelegt: Alle 14 Hofstellen und ihre Hoferben wurden im Buch bis zum Jahr 1700 vollständig rekonstruiert. Doch wie geht es danach weiter?
Hier schlägt die Online-Personendatenbank auf vortmes.nl die perfekte Brücke!
Mit dem Abschluss der vollständigen Indexierung der lutherischen Tauf-, Trau- und Sterberegister des Kirchspiels Menslage (1694–1799) stehen Ihnen über 76.000 Personennamen frei zur Verfügung:🔹 46.226 Taufen | 6.338 Heiraten | 23.734 Sterbefälle
Spannende Erkenntnisse aus den Registerdaten des 18. Jahrhunderts:
▪️ Demografische Krisen: Rekordsterblichkeit im “Schwarzen Jahr” 1781 durch Pocken- und Keuchhustenepidemien.
▪️ Weitreichende Migration: Mimmelager und Menslager im Ausland – vom britischen Heeresdienst bis zu Todesfällen in den Niederlanden (z. B. Purmerend und Ostzaan).
▪️ Zukunftsausblick: Die Arbeiten am nächsten Großprojekt laufen bereits – die Erschließung der lutherischen Register von Quakenbrück (1667–1799)!
Forscher und Genealogen können ihre Ahnenreihen somit direkt aus dem Buch nahtlos in die Online-Datenbank des 18. Jahrhunderts weiterverfolgen.
