Sommerfelder

Dan Holsinger:


The '''Sommerfelders''', also called '''Sommerfeld Mennonites''' or '''Sommerfeld Mennonite Church''' (German: ''Sommerfelder Mennoniten-Gemeinde''), are a subgroup of the so called [[Russian Mennonites]] that took this name in [[Canada]] in 1894, coming originally from the [[Bergthal Colony]] in the [[Russian Empire]]. Many of them left Canada for [[Latin America]] starting in the early 1920s. They now live in [[Canada]], [[Mexico]], [[Paraguay]] and [[Bolivia]].

In 1985 they had a total population of about 5,400 people in [[Manitoba]] and [[Saskatchewan]] in Canada and in 1987 they had 10 colonies in Latin America with a total population of about 7,500 people.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2PbRnzV ''Los Jagueyes Mennonite Settlement''] at [[GAMEO]].</ref>
