One could say that I've translated a few censuses over the years, but I just have to make a comment about the 1897 Degott census. We all complain about our ancestors who just couldn't come up with an original name to save their lives! Repeat, repeat, repeat! Well, Degott is the smallest of the original Volga German colonies and there are only 454 people mentioned on the 1897 Degott census, and there are 100 different names. Enjoy! These are the names.
