Johannes married Maria Elisabeth Kisselman. Maria (daughter of Johann Martin Kisselman and Anna Barbara Maser) was born in 1814. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH32
• Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH39

Notes:

We strongly suspect that Maria Elisabeth is the daughter of Johann Martin Kisselman and Anna Barbara Maser based on the following facts:

1) The Johann Martin household is the only other Kisselman Family in Kukkus in 1834.

2) The 1798 census shows only 4 other Kisselman households in the Volga German colonies. Mathias (Johann Martin's brother) in the nearby village of Anton. Mathias (Johann Martin's father in the nearby village of Balzer. Ludwig (No known relation) in the more distant village of Donhof. And Johannes (no known relation) in the more distant village of Grimm.It is certainly possible that Maria Elisabeth came from one of the households in Anton or Balzer. It is much less likely that she came from the more distant villages of Donhof or Grimm. I know of no Kukkus intermarriages from those last two villages.

3) Johann Martin lives within 2 households from the Felsings, according to the 1834, 1850 and 1857 census records.

4) Johann Martin was having children from 1796 to at least 1812 that we know of. It is possible then that he had a child in 1814.

Records from this time and place are simply incomplete. But based on what we know, it is most likely that Maria Elisabeth is the daughter of Johann Martin. Perhaps eventually we will find records to confirm or to dispute that, but for now I am listing Maria Elisabeth in the genealogy under Johann Martin Kisselman.

Notes:

Johannes Felsing was the deceased husband of the deceased first wife of Johann Peter Debus according to the note on the entry for his son Johann Georg (who was living in the household of Johann Peter Debus) in the 1798 census. Johann Peter Debus had a son with his second wife in 1791, which implies that his first wife died before 1791. His first wife only married Johann Peter after her first husband Johannes had died, therefore Johannes had to die before 1791, most likely a few years before. As his son was born 1784, his death date had to be between 1784 and 1791.

Johann married Maria Charlotte Heizenraeder before 1811 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia. Maria (daughter of Johann Thomas Heizenraeder and Anna Margareta Becker) was born in 1790. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH32

Notes:

The 1783 birth year on the 1834 census and the surname chart appears to be in error. Her mother would have been 13 when she was born! The age on the 1798 census and the 1850 census is more like it. Perhaps the 1834 entyry was a transcription error and that was then picked up in the surname chart.

Notes:

Married:
age of 1st child and living in Heitzenrader houshold in 1811.

Notes:

1798 Census notes that he is from Balzer. He is probably the son of Matthias Kisselmann who is the only Kisselmann family on the 1767 Balzer Census.

Johann married Anna Barbara Maser in 1793 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia. Anna (daughter of Gottfried Maser and Anna Eva Lutz) was born in 1775 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia; died before 1834. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The gap in children's ages may imply that Anna Barbara died and is not the mother of the younger children.

Johann married Maria Barbara Hergenroeder. Maria (daughter of Johannes Hergenroeder and Philippina Unknown) was born in 1775. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Name: Anna Barbara Unknown
• Reference Number: 778
• Birth: 1771
• Residence: 1798, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH24
• Residence: 1834, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH15

Notes:

We strongly suspect that Maria Barbara is the daughter of Johannes and Philipina Hergenroeder of Kukkus based on the following facts:

1) The Philipina Hergenroeder household is the only other Hergenroeder Family in Kukkus in 1798.

2) The 1798 census does list the village a spouse came from if not from the current village. The 1798 Kukkus Census does not list Maria Barbara as being from another colony, so it is presumed that she was born in Kukkus. Which implies she could only be the daughter of Johannes as this is the only Hergenroeder family in Kukkus.

3) Johannes was having childen that we know of from 1769 to 1793. There is a 9 year gap from 1772 to 1783 where no children are known. It is possible that Maria Barbara was born in this gap in 1775.

Records from this time and place are simply incomplete. But based on what we know, it is most likely that Maria Barbara is the daughter of Johannes Hergenroeder. Perhaps eventually we will find records to confirm or to dispute that, but for now I am listing Maria Barbara in the genealogy under Johannes Hergenroeder.

• Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH49

Notes:

There is a Mindt (Georg HH88) household in Schilling on the 1798 census, perhaps that is her correct surname. Her husband's parents were from Schilling. The Mindt spelling is from Brent Mai's 1798 census translation. The AHSGR translation of both the 1775 and 1798 census spells it as Mende. It seems likely that Anna Katharina is the daughter of one of Georg Minde's sons who were born in 1777 and 1780.

Name:
This may be the correct spelling of the surname.
