Heinrichsdorf Mennonite church record books

There seems to be little information about the Heinrichsdorf congregation except for this church record book. The congregation is mentioned in the Mennonite Encyclopedia in the Volhynia article. It only existed 1848-1874.

It appears that quite a few of the Heinrichsdorf families ended up at Loretta, South Dakota. See J. A. Boese, Loretta's Settlement.
