This appears to be a record of Mennonites who migrated from Prussia to the Molotschna District between 1848 and 1850. It is not clear when their ages were calculated. The list seems to include Leonhard Suderman, elder of the Berdyansk Mennonite Church and one of the twelve delegates who traveled to America in 1873. The Mennonite Encyclopedia states that he migrated to Russia in 1841 and settled in Berdyansk in 1843. The GRANDMA numbers refer to the GRANDMA Vol. 3 database produced by the California Mennonite Historical Society.
