Researching Balzer, Froese. Langeman, Gunther,Dueck. My brick wall is the Froese, Langeman and Gunther. Need Parents for Heinrich Heinrich Froese. I would think because of the double name his father could be a Heinrich also. Heinrich was born Sept. 17, 1875. In Milerovo, Ukraine, Russia.

In 1929 they lived in Tschunajevka Omsk Russia in a Mennonite colony.Died in 1931. He also ran a Flour mill with Gerhart Ewert, In Tschunajevka, Omsk, Russia.Ewert went to Canada and and Froese tried to get a permit to leave and they put him and some of the family on a train and dumped them off in Siberia to die. Katharine( Gunther) Froese is also from that area I think. She shouldn't be so hard to find. I have thoughly checked the Gramma 2 CD and found nothing. She was born Nov 29,1875. Died June 8, 1932.
