Gary, when you say about the genealogy chart, "They can't do one for every surname from all the villages," did you mean that the Volgograd and Saratov researchers cannot do a geneaology chart for a given surname from all the villages? For example, a chart for the name Haberkorn from all the colonies? Also, I thought the Volgograd archives did have some of the records for the daughter colonies Marienfeld and Josefstal, yet they were not on your list. Is it possible that is the case, that your list was only for mother colonies? Thanks on any info you might have that would clear this up. -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn. ---------------------------------------- > From: gpmartens@sbcglobal.net > To: gER-VOLGA-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2007 02:33:46 -0500 > Subject: [GV] Surname charts > > > Some additional information for those of you that want a surname chart, > which is a decendancy chart, instead of buying the information and > generating your own chart with 2 or 3 available charting programs. > > Both Volgograd and Saratov will generate what they call "genealogy charts". > For Volgograd to do a "genealogy chart", they have to have enough records > for the surname from a village to do it.

Some additional information for those of you that want a surname chart, which is a decendancy chart, instead of buying the information and generating your own chart with 2 or 3 available charting programs. Both Volgograd and Saratov will generate what they call "genealogy charts". For Volgograd to do a "genealogy chart", they have to have enough records for the surname from a village to do it. They can't do one for every surname from all the villages. Mila will find out prices if anyone is interested. Gary Martens

Today the CD for best foreign film of last year is released. It is "the lives of other people" complete with subtitles. It is told through the eyes of an East German surveillance officer, a spy, assigned to one family. The East Germans had their population spying on each other before the wall came down. This was pre computer eaves dropping. After they closed up shop when the wall came down, the government had to decide what to do with this huge warehouse of files. Eventually they gave them to Lutheran Social Services as the best caretaker they could decide upon. People could seek their own files, but at personal risk, for neighbors or spouses or coworkers might have informed on familiars. The source was documented in the file. The film received goor reviews. I do know people who went back to Eastern Germany to do family research. The Gestapo tradition lived on in a communist garb. Frank Jacobs

I have prepared a web page which has information on getting research done in the Russian Archives: http://www.dobrinka.org/archives/ There is information there on what is contained in the archives, and what records (by village name) are stored at the Engels and Volgograd Archives. What's not listed is generally at the Saratov Archive. There may be some additional records at Engels and Volgograd. The records which may not be available are church records for some of the newer and more remote daughter colonies. In some cases records have not been found, or were never recorded. Census records, as far as is known, where last taken in 1857 or 1858. It appears that a census was not taken in those years for daughter colonies founded in 1855 or later. Also, church records for some villages are not all continuous, they do not start when the village was founded, or they do not go into the early 1900's. On my web page, the information for Mila Koretnikova for Volgograd isn't available, but will be within the next 2 or 3 days, as soon as she verifys the cost of getting records from Volgograd. The prices for research at Volgograd are considerably cheaper than research at Saratov. Her sister is in the process of trying to get access to the Engels Archive, and if that happens, I will add that information to the web site. Mila and her sister can obtain copies of church records, and copies of census records for a surname. Mila can provide translation service, as indicated on the information page. This service will be much faster than current services available, with records usually delivered in 2 to 3 months, depending on how fast the archives delivers the records to Mila's sister. Get in touch with me if you are interested in the service Mila provides for getting records from the Russian Archives. Gary Martens Dobrinka & Schilling Villages VC

He was raised in Casper and graduated from NCHS in 1945. He served with the U.S. Army in Alaska during the WWII. Upon his return, he attended Casper College and the University of Wyoming. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology in 1951. He started his career with Marathon Oil Company as a petroleum exploration geologist and remained there until 1974. In 1974, he started a geological consulting firm with Earl Hegna and Johns Kerns -- Hegna, Kerns and Traut. In 1979, he formed Tyrex Oil Company. He took the company public as an over-the-counter stock on NASDAQ in 1980. He retired from Tyrex in 1996. He was a member of the AAPG and the Wyoming Geological Association, past president of the WGA, a Fellow of the Geological Society of America and a Frank Morgan recipient for meritorious achievement, Wyoming Geological Association in 1978.

They had two daughters, Barbara and Nancy, who shared many wonderful adventures with them. Upon retirement, he became interested in the construction and design of jewelry.

Collins, Colo.; and Nancy D'Hooge and her husband of Lakewood, Colo.; sister, Katherine Clark and her husband of Casper; brother, Wyborne of Corvallis, Ore.; four granddaughters and a grandson; a favorite niece, and her husband of Casper; two nephews, an uncle, four great-nephew and two great-nieces and numerous cousins.

Scottsbluff Star Herald Scottsbluff, NE 22 Aug 2007 Anna Groskopf Ashmore, 86 of Gering, died Monday, Aug. 20, 2007, at Regional West Medical Center with her family by her side. Funeral Services will be held at 10 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 23, at the Rejoice Lutheran Church with Reverend Helmut Yurk officiating. Burial will be at the Fairview Cemetery in Scottsbluff. Visitation will be Wednesday Aug. 22, from 1to 7 p.m. at the funeral home. Memorials may be made to the Panhandle Humane Society. Jolliffe Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements. Anna was born June 15, 1921, near Bayard to Frank and Eva (Knaub) Marsh. She Married Victor Groskopf Jan. 14, 1945, in Gering. When Anna lost her husband Victor in 1971 she obtained her CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) from Nebraska Western College in May 1974. She always wanted to be a nurse and loved science. Anna worked at Heritage and Beverly Enterprises, and trained many new nursing students. Later she privately sat for various families' parents. She loved her job and the people she cared for. She was able to speak German and cared for many German immigrants. Anna was always able get some of the patients to cooperate with her gentle and kind ways. She retired in 1997. She loved her children and enjoyed spending time with and cooking for them. Anna also loved flowers, especially the roses grown by her daughter, even though her daughter did not inherit her green thumb. Her son Steve did acquire the green thumb as he does farm in Colorado. The children also teased their mother about whom she liked best, Steve or Vickie. Vickie believed that her mother liked her best. However, Steve says "that's not true," but he didn't get to write the obituary. So he guesses it was Vickie after all. She loved dogs; especially her dog Tisha and her daughter's dog Molly Ann. Ann could never understand how or why anyone could mistreat any animal, as they needed love, too. Another love of Anna was music. She could play the piano and the accordion by listening to a song and recreating it. Her favorite color was blue sapphire. Survivors include her daughter, Vickie and husband Thomas Groskopf-Jones of Gering, son Steven and wife Cynthia Groskopf of Olathe, Colo. and sisters, Molly Specht of Hemingford and Lydia Specht of Greeley, Colo. Her parents, husband and two brothers preceded her in death.

Darrell, Eva Quint was born 1841-43 in Russia. I thought Eva Quint's first marriage was to a Naab from Rothammel. My Grandfather, Joseph Naab, her only son, was born in 1874, which makes me think it might have been a second marriage. The Naab husband, my GGrandfather, died when my Grandfather was about two. Eva then married Jakob Falkenstein from Schuck and they emigrated to America 28 Dec, 1891. They had no children together. He had several with his first wife, Anna Marie Miller. They lived in Pfeifer KS and after his death she married a Kreutzer and they lived, died and are buried in Liebenthal KS. I have noticed there were other Quints in Pfeifer and thought they were probably related. Two Quints married Eva's stepsons, Heinrich and Jakob Falkenstein. I am trying to find out who her parents were and where they came from. I have been told that Eva may be a middle name.

Well, folks, I stand corrected. I did honestly think that my ancestors were "shanghaied" to Argentina, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe they went to Argentina by mistake, maybe they went there deliberately. One thing I am sure of...our ancestors had a lot of courage to pack up their families & possessions & move, not just to another home or another town, but to another continent!!
