Hi Ron-there is a 3 volume set of books on Mennonite history from its beginnings pre Menno Simons to modern day Canada and all of the countries between that you might find helpful. The books are called: Mennonites in Canada 1786-1920, 2nd volume, same but 1920-1940, both of these are by Frank Epp, volume 3 is by T.D.Reghr: Mennonites in Canada, 1939-1970. If you are in Canada you can get these through Interlibrary loan if your own library doesn't have them. I looked at the ship's list you referred to and that Ens family did originate in Russia, I think they may even be related to my Ens ancestor, Helena Mary Ens Janzen, born 1847, married Janzen, married FEHR, married Martens
