I have been able to confirm the German origins for the Ernestinendorf First Settlers Johann Heinrich Becker, and his wife and sister-in-law Louise and Juliana Voelck (Falk) from Staufenberg; Johann Heinrich Jung and his wife and children also from Staufenberg; and Johann Winkelhausen and wife of Ruttershausen. The detail will be given to Brent Mai for use in the Center for Volga German Studies. Bill Pickelhaupt
