Posted on: Roth Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/rot/Roth/160 Surname: Roth ------------------------- I do not have any Quentius Roth in my data base for the Village in Russia. Most of our village members immigrated into the US in the early 1900's. Your Roth family would have been in the US long before that time. I suspect your Roths were of Germanic origin. The ones I am seeking left Germany in the 1700's for Russia and lived there until the 1900's when they emigrated in large numbers to avoid starvation,war, communism and being sent to Siberia. This group of people kept their german language and customs in Russia where they settled along the Volga. They were pioneers in the Russian Steppe, developing the land into productive farm land. They were so successful and prosperous, that they became enemies of the State when communism became the law of the land. Sorry I could not help you.
