Why might Henry have gone half-way around the world? The Germans in Russia accepted an offer by Catherine the Great (in the mid 1700's) to come to Russia. She made many promises at the time, but by the mid to late 1800's, many of those promises were no longer kept. One big reason why many left Russia in the late 1800's and early 1900's was that for the first time, the Germans were being required to serve in the Russian Military. You can find more info at the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia website at www.AHSGR.org. I hope this helps! Connie Geringer Armstrong garmstrong@mediaone.net

I belive this Jake Roth died at Bismarck, Nd., I have run across lots of information containing several other jake roth though, what background? I have some sites I look at that would be russian, or germAN, ALSO HAVE LISTS OF IMMIGRANTS, ETC.

I'm looking for any info on Henry Roth such as who his siblings were, who his parents were, etc. I believe he was one of the Germans from Russia (most likely Bessarabia). He came over to America around the age of 16 (by himself!!!) and settled in Adams County in Washington state to farm. If anyone has any idea of who his family was or why he would move halfway around the world as a teenager, please help me out. I asked my grandfather (Henry's son) before he died about his father, and he told me that he didn't know either and said that he was probably a stowaway which would explain why I can't seem to find any records of him.

Hi Robert, I too am looking for information on Webster T. Roth. I have him as being born in Ill, moving to Iowa where he enlisted in the 26th Iowa Infantry-discharged 12-9-1879. He was buried at the Dodge Old Soldiers home. Do you have any information on his daughters? Possibly from a previous marriage. thanks, Dee

Hi again, Thought I should update you a bit. Webster Tyler Roth was born in Ill., moved to Iowa sometime when he was young. There he joined the 26th Iowa Infantry during the civil war. He left the service on 12-9-1879. He lived in the Dodge Old Soldiers home where he is buried. I believe that he may be the relative that I am looking for. I need some more information to be sure. Do you have anything on this person? Thanks, Dee

My Grandfather was Adam Roth, b. 1890. His parents were Peter and Mary (?) Roth. I know that they were from the Saratov area, but I don't know what village. Adam came to America in 1911, and settled in the Sugar City, Colorado area. He met and married my Grandmother, Katie Keller, in 1914. They farmed in Colorado and Kansas until 1923, when they moved to Fresno, California with their 3 young daughters. Adam died suddenly in November 1923. It is possible that Adam had a brother who came to America with him, but we aren't sure. If anyone has any information, we would be grateful to hear about it! Thank you!

Ardith, Susan Cavanaugh was my grandmother's sister. Her maiden name was Roth. My grandmother was born is 1890, and Sue was born after my grandmother. Sorry that this is not who you were looking for. I have reached a dead end on my gg grandmother! It is frustrating. Judy Lackey

I'm also looking for some Indiana Roths, specifically my g-grandfather Charles Roth and (possibly) a son or brother named Craig Roth. Charles wife may have been named Sarah (possibly Mueller/Miller). My grandfather Harry Lamont Roth was born 15 Oct 1862, so Charles would be been born before 1842 at least. Harry's death certificate shows his place of birth as "Pennsylvania" (no town). If true, Charles would have had to move to Indiana after 1862. Family lore has it that this family was Pennsylvania Dutch. Also that Charles owned a hotel in Indiana, but I'm not certain of the town. Obviously, none of this info has been verified, except (perhaps) Harry's birthdate. Even there, it's information that was given by his 19-year-old daughter at the time of his death in 1913. I have not been able to locate Harry's place of birth and, thus, have no birth certificate for him. Pennsylvania records before a certain date are not centralized. They have to be requested from each county seat. Harry's birthdate falls into this category. And I haven't yet done the hard work of writing to every county in Pennsylvania to inquire about his birth. If anyone knows of this family, I would appreciate their contacting me.
