Good morning everyone, I am looking for the following names from Kutschurgan, North and South Dakota and Saskatchewan. OCHS, FIX, THOMAS, BACHMEIER Sincerely, Janis [email protected]

Hello everyone, Just a few months ago started researching my father's side of the family (been dealing just with my mother's side for 5 yrs), so I don't have much. WALGER - They left the Ernestinendorf village in the Volga Region in 1913 and settled in Bellwood, Cook County, IL. My Walger great-grandmother's maiden name was Anna Elisabeth REIS/RIES. My g-grandfather David Heinrich WALGER's naturalization papers state that he came to the US under the name of Johannes Schneider in 1912, which according to my father, is said to have been a cousin's name. Like I said, not much <g>, but I'll get there eventually. And yes, I'm also subscribed to the German-Volga list, but thought I'd give this list a chance also. Have a good day! --Debbie Schnell Woolard [email protected] ICQ #83725129 AIM: DeborahWoolard

Hello, List-ers..... I have begun searching for KEMNITZ. Frederick August Kemnitz was born on Nov. 3, 1826 in Neuenberg, Prussia, which may have been a part of Poland at the time. He died on March 26, 1907 and is buried in the Rosendale Cemetery in Fondulac, WI. He married Mary Louise FIETING (October 17, 1826-May 8, 1906) and boarded the ship "Bruwbark Concordia" in Bremen...coming to NY in 1857. Ship lists state that he came from Schoneberg. Would like to find his verified birthplace! Any help would be appreciated! joanne
