Dear Listers: I am still trying to find a link between the Beideck & Kukkus FRÜHLING/ FRUHLING/ FRUEHLINGs. Is anyone on this list a living descendant of: Johannes FRÜHLING (FRUHLING/ FRUEHLING) m. Anna Margaretha KREPP (or GRAFIN?) Both died in Beideck. The following marriage has been extracted from marriage transcriptions/translations from the church books of Büdingen, Hessen, Germany. These colonists were married in Büdingen prior to leaving for Russia in 1766 as part of Catherine the Great's Colonization program of the Russian Steppe. They left their villages and traveled to a central gathering place or "Sammelplatz" which had been designated to organize the departure. Büdingen in Hessen was one of the main collection points for people emigrating from that region: Sources: Leaving Germany.

German Colonists Emigrating to Russia. Available at: _http://www.femling.com/gen/balzer/budmar.htm_ (http://www.femling.com/gen/balzer/budmar.htm) NOTE at website: There are many variations in the scribes spelling and abbreviations for the marriage entries as well as suffixes that were often added to the female surname. Please be aware that there will be transcription errors in these entries despite the best efforts to accurately translate them. This was the wife of Johannes FRUEHLING/ FRUHLING in Beideck, according to the chart on all the descendents of Johannes FRUEHLING and Anna Margaretha KREPP done by Prof. Pleve from Saratov, Russia: Name: KREPP, Anna Margaretha Born: 1744 Place: Died: 22 Sep 1802 Place: Beideck, (Volga, Russia) Source: Gedlist, Compiled from the American Historical Society of Germans >From Russia Gedcom Files, January 2000. Available at: _http://www.ahsgr.org/gedlist/gedlist-kr.txt_ (http://www.ahsgr.org/gedlist/gedlist-kr.txt) There appears to be a possible connection here between the couple married in Büdingen, Germany, who married before emigrating to Russia, and the couple who were born in Darmstadt, Hessen-Germany, and died in Beideck. The time frame agrees. The only contradiction remaining is the two last names of Anna Margaretha, which may be related to the problem noted above about transcription errors in the Büdingen marriages. According to a list member, the 1798 census information has but one Johannes FRUHLING in Beideck who was 61 years old at the time and who had four boys living in his household ranging in age from 22 to 28 (born between approximately 1770 - 1776). The children were: 1. Johann Peter FRUHLING 2. Johannes FRUHLING 3. Christian FRUHLING 4. Johann Martin FRUHLING Does anyone know the years of birth of the above four children? Did any of their descendants move to Kukkus? This appears to be the same Johannes FRUHLING/ FRUEHLING particularly since no other FRÜHLING/ FRUHLING/ FRUEHLINGs are in the 1798 German-Russian census, and the age and German place of birth is a possible match: Name: FRUEHLING, Johannes Born: 1736 Place: Darmstadt, (Hessen, Germany) Died: 3 Dec 1820 Place: Beideck Source: Gedlist, Compiled from the American Historical Society of Germans >From Russia Gedcom Files, January 2000. Available at: _http://www.ahsgr.org/gedlist/gedlist-fo.txt_ (http://www.ahsgr.org/gedlist/gedlist-fo.txt) Both Darmstadt and Büdingen are in Hessen, Germany in the area of Frankfurt. Darmstadt (stated to be the place of birth of Johannes FRUEHLING in 1736) is 12 miles southwest of Frankfurt. Büdingen (stated to be the place of marriage of Johannes FRÜHLING and Anna Margaretha GRAFIN in 1766) is about 25 miles northeast of Frankfurt and was one of the main "Sammelplatz" designated to organize the departure of Germans to Russia at that time. FRÜHLING is also spelled as FRUEHLING when leaving out the German Umlaut ""Ü." Right now I am trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle by making a list of all of the FRUEHLING/ FRÜHLING children born in Beideck after 1766. There were a total of 8 FRUEHLING children born in Beideck between 1768 - 1783 (all the children born before 1800--none were listed as being born before 1766). I am curious as to whether anyone knows of any sources that list their parents, as I can't find any other older FRUEHLING/ FRÜHLING couple other than Johannes and Anna Margaretha living in Beideck at the time: 1. Elizabeth FRUEHLING b. 11 Dec 1768 Beideck (died or married before the 1 798 census?) 2. Johann Peter FRUEHLING b. 10 Jan 1772(?) Beideck (same as in the 1798 census?) 3.

Thanks Mike Grau, My definitions are for the 19th century only, for the history of Samara and Saratov, since this is pertinent to our list. I've avoided the definition for southern Russia/Ukraine/Cossack territory. I checked with the Russian encyclopaedia for an updated definition, but I found it less useless and too general. Russian Wikipedia says (but less precisely than 19th c. History books, see below): Quote from Wikipedia: Khutor - a) settlement point of smallest dimension, b) a separate (alone-standing) peasant-owned farm with farming activity. (19th c. def.: must be worked by paid labour - vb). c) usually has no more than 10 buildings/outhouses d) Often belongs to only one family. (i.e. a family farm) e) Sometimes applied to a cluster of alone-standing homes (probably hamlet in English - vb), which belong administratively to a larger settlement point. I exclude the definitions for Cossack territory and Ukr., Since this is the Volga List.

Gradually some of the "khutors" grew bigger, sometimes there were many families living here, but they still retained their name, "khutor", because they were kind of separated from the other farms and privately owned. After the revolution, however, property of the rich was expropriated and collective farms were organized where there used to be private farms. Still, many retained the name "khutor".

Ukraine means "By the Edge" / Border / ( but not as far as "Back of Beyond") There are also the Belorussians (White Russians from Belorussia, not to be confused with the Exiles-Emigrees after the Revolution and Civil War). ..and Chernorussians. "Black Russians" not to be confused with elegant cigarettes of the same terminology.... Probably something to do with the colour of the earth...

In history books we have read that most German colonists were not allowed to cart salt from Elton Lake to Pokrovsk, and that anyhow the pay was negligible for this state controlled monopoly. But in another book (Beratz?) I came across the fact that some (probably very few) German settlers were allowed to engage in cartage, but only if they had large families and these family members could till the allocated land while the man/men were away...so there were exceptions. What is now more interesting, however, is that I found a "History of Samara" where one learns that at least some of the hauliers/carters became exceptionally wealthy by breeding bulls/steers and draft-horses for carting, and Pokrovsk could provide 7000 pairs of bulls/steers and 600 pairs of draft horses. Some carters were so rich that they adorned the horns of the bullocks with gold. Once they were no longer needed for the government service, they trans-located Malorussians were converted into State-peasants (State-serfs).... Vera Beljakova-Miller

Variously I have attempted to define Khutor/Hutor, depending on which dictionary I was using, but now I found a very technically, historically precise definition in a 19th publication: KHUTOR (Hutor): 3 definitions for the Volga area - any Ukrainian / Maloruss / Little Russian settlements which do not have a church; or - a small hamlet, usually composed of a single homestead, populated by settlers from another district or gubernia (i.e. non-locals); or - farming homestead (the main farmhouse) standing in the middle of privately-owned farm(land) which employs farm-workers/ labourers.

Hi, Before I lose again my 19th c lexicon on Russian settlement points, I am happy to send through definitions. There are masses of words for small settlements, settlements for non-locals, outskirt settlements, creeks, GAI - as in Alexander GAI - Ukr. Word for forest/wood/shrubland Little town - apparently Katherinenstadt was bigger than a village but smaller than a town, and known as Gorodok = Little Town(let) There are common nouns for villages with churches and without churches. German colonies were called by Russian 'KOLONOK" Nouns for Manor/Farmstead Houses for Nobles and Non-Nobles. About 6 nouns for a variety of villages. YAR - JAR = steep riverbank / Krasny Yar (Krasnoyar) = Red Steep Riverbank UMET SLABODA Etc... Vera Beljakova-Miller

Billings Gazette Billings, MT 26 Feb 2007 Mary J. Baker, 90, of Billings, passed away at St. John's Nursing Home on Feb. 23, 2007. She was born on May 16, 1916, to Joseph and Katherine Lechner on their homestead east of Worden. The Lechner family later settled on a small farm on Flycreek. Mary attended school at Fly Creek, Anita and Worden, graduating from Huntley Project High school in 1933 and from St. Vincent's School of Nursing in 1937. Mary's nursing career began at the County Hospital. Mary married Robert Allison Baker, in Oakland, Calif., in June of 1942. While in Oakland Mary worked as a nurse. Bob and Mary moved back to Billings in 1943. Bob died of pneumonia in December of 1943. Roberta was born on Feb. 6, 1944. Roberta died of leukemia on Dec. 13, 1950. Mary liked to travel and traveled to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii as well as traveling in the States. She was able to do this when she was younger and said she was very glad to have been able to do so. Mary continued her nursing career at St. Vincent Hospital. She also worked for Dr. Benson, Dr. Marchello and at Valley Nursing Home. However, running the ranch in Shawmut Mary had inherited from her husband was a big part of her life, and her nursing job helped pay the ranch expenses. She spent many happy hours traveling back and forth to the ranch. The ranch was sold in 2000. Besides her husband and daughter, Mary was preceded in death by her mother and father; brothers, Herman (who died as an infant), Marcus, John and James; sister-in-law, Corinna Lechner; brother-in-law, Earling Haaland and niece, Cindy Lechner. She is survived by sisters, Katherine Haaland, Rose Ellen (Frank) Weber; brothers, Karl (Elaine), Glen (Kate), Charles (Ruth) and Ted (Patty); sister-in-law, Beverly Lechner and numerous nieces and nephews. Mary had recently sold her home in Billings and moved into the Vista at St. John's where she lived until she broke her hip. She then went into St. John's Nursing Home where she passed away. A memorial service will be held at St. Pius Church at 11 a.m. on Friday, March 2, with Michelotti-Sawyers in charge. Cremation has taken place, and interment will be after the service and reception. Memorials should be send to St. Vincent Foundation or St. John's Lutheran Ministries Mary, above all, loved her Lord, her family, her nursing profession, her ranch and the earth. She gave her whole life with all her heart to all these things.
