I have been working on this study on and off since 1991, when I began the research in Hamburg for a dissertation which has now grown into a book. My original intention was to study early Anabaptism in northern German territories, but I had to abandon this plan when I learned that too few documents had survived the destruction of war. Hans-Jrgen Goertz suggested the current project. He pointed me to a large and underutilized archival collection at the State Archives in Hamburg, which was well suited to addressing debates about confessional affiliation and social order after the Reformation.

I have included no map with this book. In addition to any standard map of Europe, readers can turn to the Mennonite Historical Atlas (2nd edn, Winnipeg, 1996), by William Schroeder and Helmut Huebert, which includes a map of the region around Oldesloe in Holstein and another of Mennonite sites in Altona. Since the 1930s Altona has been a district in the western part of Hamburg, within walking distance of the downtown core. Before the twentieth century it was a distinct political entity separated from Hamburg by that city's fortress walls. In the period discussed in this study, Altona was under the jurisdiction first of the Schauenburg counts and later of the Danish monarchy.

Names in the early modern period were seldom standardized. For example, the family name Plus also appears in sources as Pl or Pluen, while other common Mennonite names, Roosen and Goverts, also appear as Rosen, Roose, Rooze, Rose, Govers and Gouers. For the sake of simplicity and consistency I have always tried to use the version that appears most frequently in both the secondary literature and the primary documents. This has sometimes required an arbitrary decision.
