Aron Ens - Russia to Canada
Mennonite Research: I would like to connect Aaron Enns who was married to Anna Braun to the families in Henry Schpansky’s book “The Old Colonly (Chortitza) of Russia”. I am looking for the birth and death dates as well as the parent’s names of Aaron and Anna. I believe they came from Schoenhorst. There is an Aron Enns (b. 1779) from Schoenhorst who married Sara Neufeld (b 1780). This may be the family or may be no connection at all.
While it appears that Aaron and Anna remained in Russia, several of their children came to Canada.
Their daughter Anna Ens (Oct. 10, 1836-Jan. 5, 1900) married Johann Wolf (1836-1899). This family came to Canada from Russia in 1875. They settled in the village of Chortitz on the West Reserve, Manitoba. Their family is recorded in the Reinlander Gemeinde Buch (family 300-3).
Their son Aaron Enns was born Nov. 12, 1842. He married Susanna Ewert (b. 1844). They came from Russia to Canada in 1891. They eventually settled in Oster, Saskatchewan. They wrote several letters in the Mennonite Rundschau greeting and requesting news from their brothers and sisters.
Another daughter may be Helena Enns who was born December 4, 1844. She married Heinrich Ens (1845-1885) from Osterwick. They came from Russia to Canada in 1877 and settled in Hoffnungsfeld on the West Reserve in Manitoba.
The Grandma 4 Resource records another daughter named Katharina who was born on October 27, 1850 in Schoenhorst, Russia. She was baptized in Osterwick in 1871 and died in Nieder-Chortitz, Russia in 1903. She married Jacob Bergen. Jacob Bergen is listed as a Geschwister (probably brother-in-law) in Aaron and Susanna (Ewert) Enns’ Jan. 10, 1900 Mennonite Rundschau article. I would like to know where the information for Grandma 4 for this family has come from.
In the same MR article, they ask about brother, Gerhard Enns (died after 1900) from Leonidowka, Russia.
