| Comments: | My ancestors came from Russian occupied Ukraine in the years 1910 and 1912. Its like I hit a brick wall to get info on either side. My grandfather was Frederick Baun b-1883 and my grandmother Katherine Elizabeth Derr b-21 Sept 1889. My grandmothers mother was a Diener from Warenburg. As near as I can tell the Bauns were from Klingental, letters received from that area, south Russia. The Derrs were from Balzer or Moor. Its a dream to find some information on either family. |

| Comments: | My Grandfather Fred Thaut Sr. and his wife was Mary Elizabeth Adler came to America in the early 1900 from Kolb Russia. They had a young child with them named Jacob.
I have done some family research but cannot find any immigration records for my family. My Aunt said she believes they entered the U.S. in Alaska. Is that possible? At that time Alaska would be a territory. Would there be records? Did most people from Kolb enter in Canada? Were there people who entered in Alaska? My Grandfather told me many stories about his life in the "Old Country" as they referred to it. Always talked about how hard it was. He passed away when I was 9 years old and I am now a Grandmother and still remember them. He always said," Be proud to be an American...there is nothing greater on earth to be." Nancy Schneider |

| Comments: | I am grateful to learn of this preservation foundation. Much of who I am today, the foods I cook, the values I have, I owe to my paternal Grandmother, Johanna (Engel) Trick, a Volga German who was brave enough to venture to America in 1914 from Russia. I was fortunate that she spent most every summer at our home while I was growing up. She taught me how to "make do with very little." I can still see myself sitting at her feet listening to her tales of her life in Russia. I am now finally to the stage of compiling her stories and researching the Engel and Trick side of my family genealogy and would be happy to hear from others with those family surnames. I am proud to be of her heritage and thankful for all the foundations that keep the trials, tribulations and successes of the Volga Germans alive. |

| Comments: | I am pleased to learn that a foundation has been established for the purpose of preserving Volga German and Black Sea German culture and heritage. Over the years I have come to cherish the fact that I grew up in a very important subculture in the United States. Recalling my childhood sometimes appears to be a visit to another country, and spiritually that is what it was. Our culture was a strong blend of cultural elements of Germany in the
16th, 17th, and 18th centuries and of Russia in the late 18th and the whole of the 19th centuries. Our ability to adapt to new areas without losing essence of own early heritage cause Aleksander Solzhenitzyn to remark that the Germans were like willows--wherever they were transplanted, they seemed to thrive. That was certainly demonstrated by the large number of people of Volga German descent who through exile, forced labor, and difficult living conditions under a cruel dictator managed to retain their identity.

| Comments: | I am trying to find out any information I can about my ethnic German ancestors who moved to the United States in the mid to late 1800's and eventually settled in Oklahoma Territory. They came from Russia and were named Mueller. My Great-Great Grandfather was Konrad Wilhelm Mueller, Great Grandpa was Uriah Conrad Miller (family names have been anglicized, I think probably due to pressure felt during both world wars). My great-grandfather understood and could write in German very well all his life (as he had to learn it as well as English while growing up). He (Uriah Conrad) was born in 1896 and is buried in Hastings, Oklahoma...not too far from Waurika. |

My great grandfather, John Sinner, was smuggled to Canada around 1914 just before the outbreak of the Russian Revolution. He never saw any of his family again. I am desperate to find anything I can about this region and any Sinner's that lived there. In my research I get the feeling that there were a lot of Sinner's in that area, but I cannot find a connection to my family. There is very little information and I don't know where to look. I'd deeply appreciate any information at all. Thank you so much, Lisa. |

Mein Urgrossmutter, Elisabeth Loos ist nämlich die Tochter von Georg Heinrich Loos und Katharina Sophia Krieger die im Jahr 1907 in die Staaten wanderten. Zuerst wohnten sie in Platteville, Colorado und dann siedelten sie in Lincoln, Nebraska. Eigentlich lebt meine Urgrossmutter noch, obwohl sie zwar sehr alt ist. Wenn jemand auch die Familienamen Loos und Krieger aus dem Provinz Saratov forscht, dann bitte melden Sie doch einfach: Globalmensch@aol.com
Vielen Dank! Eng: Hi! I'm researching the Loos family from Norka, Russia and the Krieger family from the town of Saratov, Russia. My ultimate goal is to trace these families out of Russia and back to their orginal place of origin in the German Empire. Well, I'm only 17 years old, but have been researching my family's beautiful German history for about three years. If anybody out there has information on German-Lutheran Loos and Krieger families who settled in the Province of Saratov, Russia, then please contact me without hesitation!

I am personally interested in furthering research on HAHN, BAECKER, SCHAFER and SCHWINDT. These were prominent Norka family names. There are about 235 Norka family names.

| Comments: | Ich wohne seit 9 Jahren in Deutschland, habe mich auch ganz gut integriert aber in meinem Inneren bleibt trotzdem mein lebenlang eine wunderschöne Erinnerung von dem Leben in Russland. Ich liebe dieses Land, die Natur, die endlosen Steppen mit ihrem heißem Wind, die Sonnebuntergänge, die Sterne in der Nacht, usw.
Dies alles und vieles mehr werde ich nie vergessen, passiere es was es wolle in Russland ich werde die Natur dort immer lieben. |

| Comments: | Hi! My Great Grandfather, Alexander, came
from Russia in 1913, and settled in Newark New Jersey, USA. His son was Peter (my grand father) and Peter's son, James, is my father. I believe that Alexander had a dozen or so siblings- several went to Brazil and from what I know, many went to the midwest, possibly Colorado. If anybody out there shares a similar story, feel free to email me to talk about it! God bless the German people. |
