Biographies

Here you find biographies are of German-speaking missionaries, as well as some key persons associated with missions, such as indigenous residents, missionary wives, and mission facilitators (like Pingilina, Louise Flierl, Gossner, Lang, Zinzendorf). Much of the material on which the biographies are based is from German handwritten sources. A sample of Suetterlin handwriting is in the Introduction.
