Greetings, I am researching my family tree and located some informationg I may need help with. The RIEDEL family were born in Germany but had settled in Saratov on the banks of the Volga river. Apparently they had a large mill in the area. I am unsure of their names but I know that Marta RIEDEL was born in Saratov in the 1880's. I hope someone may be able to direct me to baptism, marriage & death records or business and census records for the area. Regards Jon OLDFIELD.

Jon, there were very many Riedel families in a number of the Volga colonies. My Riedel relatives were from the Catholic colony of Herzog (Susly). If you can, be more specific in your request for info. That way someone may possibly make a connection to their family. Was Marta Riedel Catholic or Lutheran? What were some of her other family members (relationship and names)? >From: "Jon" <tripleHH@bigpond.com> >To: <GER-VOLGA@rootsweb.com> >Subject: [GER-VOLGA] RIEDEL - Saratov Russia >Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 17:41:42 +1100 > >Greetings, > >I am researching my family tree and located some informationg I may need >help with. > >The RIEDEL family were born in Germany but had settled in Saratov on the >banks of the Volga river.
