I am trying to find birth, marriage, death, census records of the village of Hoffental. It is located just northwest of Krasny-Kut. Another village close to Hoffental is Rosental. I have the following info on relatives who came to US. Christian Morlang(B: 1872) married Dorothea (B:abt 1880) married in Russia about 1900. Children born Russia: Christian B: Aug 1900, Johannes B: abt 1905. Maria B: abt 1908, Heinrich B: abt. 1913. Dorthea and children immigrated 1913, arriving in Halifax, Nova Scotia Oct. 10, 1913 ship name Kursk. Ships record for Dorothea said brother in law Konrad Morlang in Hoffental, Samara. Chrsitian's brother John Morlang (B: abt 1872) immigrated abt. 1908. John's wife Katharine(B: abt 1873) and son Peter(B: 1894) immigrated in 1910. Both families went to North Dakota. Peter's death record in Minn. says mother's maiden surname is Stabu. She is most likely from Hoffental also. John was soldier in Russian army. Any info to research vital records from Hoffental would be greatly appreciated. Older relative who is son of Marie (B: 1908) said his mother told him her grandparents were sent to Siberia. Does anyone know of any info about this? Thank you very much. Regards, Judy _________________________________________________________________ Like puzzles? Play free games & earn great prizes.
