The Catholic church records of Culm, West Prussia contain a separate register of 24 births of Mennonites from the villages of Klein Lunau, Nieder Ausmass, Schönsee and Venedia. Although this register is small, it is important since the Mennonite church records for this area (Schönsee congregation) have been lost.
