List of Mennonites

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page includes a list of notable Mennonites.

General list

[edit]

Canadian politicians connected to the Mennonites

[edit]

Note: Several Canadian political figures have a Mennonite background. This might be more common in Canada than in most nations. This is perhaps most true in the case of Manitoba, though Saskatchewan and British Columbia also have significant Mennonites in politics. As this more concerns "connected to" this may include people who are ethnic Mennonites and not necessarily members of Mennonite churches.

People of Mennonite ancestry or background

[edit]

These are people of Mennonite ancestry, but who are/were not members of the Mennonite religion. In some cases names listed here include people whose current status as Mennonites is undetermined.

People incorrectly identified as Mennonite
