EWZ Requests

Thank you for reaching out to the Mennonite Historical Society of BC.
What we request when looking for EWZ records:

EWZ Film#, Frame#, Full name, birthdate.

You can locate the EWZ Film# and Frame# by searching a couple of places:

- Black Sea German Research website https://www.blackseagr.org/. When you find the profile of the person for whom you are looking, the EWZ Film# and Frame# are at the bottom of the profile.

- Odessa War Documents https://www.odessa3.org/collections/war/ and the second choice of EWZ Film Indices.

Please note that each request should include no more than five EWZ Film numbers, and kindly limit your requests to one email per week.

Send your request and questions regarding genealogy to: genealogy@mhsbc.com.
