MIGRATION OF COLONISTS FROM GERMANY IN 1761 TO SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN AND LATER TO THE VOLGA IN 1763.
In 1761, the Danish king (Duke of Schleswig-Holstein) recruited people from souther Germany to settle in Schleswig-Holstein, to drain the bogs and swamps and make the land productive. Many Germans answered the appeal. Later the worsoning economic situation and resentment by local domestic workmen caused some colonists to break their contract with the king and desert. As the number of desertions increased, provision was made for colonists to apply for permission to leave.
At the same time, czarina Katharina the Great issued the manifesto that encouraged people to come to Russia. Amough the enducements was provision for advance payment of colonist costs for the journey. There was a resident recruiter of colonist in Kiel.
The colonist records in Schleswig show that many colonists left, some requesting permission to do so while others simply deserted without a trace. Transport lists of those leaving from Travemünde and Lübeck are not to be found.
The Kuhlberg lists do provide listings of colonists arriving in Russia. The Volga village census records are another source. By comparing family names and ther names and ages of family members, I come to the conclusion that there is a high probability that many of the families that left Schleswig-Holstein became colonists on the Volga.

19 Catholic Faith, From Meinz. Felsheim Village, arrived in Oranienbaum (not far from Saint Petersburg) on 8/8/1766 by the ship under the command of Heinrichson. Their children arrived in Kukkus Colony on 26 Jun1787.

It is a fact that only people of the Reformed Faith lived in Kukkus. This story will explain how a Catholic family arrived and settled in Kukkus.

As the widower, Adam Baum, was traveling to Kukkus with his children he died while in Oranienbaum, near St Petersburg. His children were taken in by a childless famility he had befriended while on the ship which was taking both families to Russia. Wilhelm and Anna Maria Kloss took the parentless children in and raised them as their own in Kukkus. The children of Adam Baum, a Catholic, were raised in the Reformed Faith. That is how a family of Catholics arrived in the Reformed Faith village of Kukkus. (Story taken from a letter written by Dr Igor and Ludmila Pleve to Gene Lehman in 1998)

Maria 16 either did not survive transport or married.
 
Heinrich Baum
 
23 lived in household of Wilhelm Kloss after father died. Margaretha (Anna Maria) Baum
 
24 She is not on the first settler list for Kukkus. She could have died or she is old enough to have married. Maria Baum
 
25 1798 Census notes she is from Anton Anna Margareta Baumgaertner
 
26 this may be the same person as Andreas Becker (b. 1785) son of David and Margareta Becker Andreas Becker
 
27 There were 3 Becker families in Kukkus in 1767 and one in Balzer (Where her husband was born) in 1767. We have no idea which Becker family she came from. Anna Margareta Becker
 
28 2 weeks old on 1767 census. Anna Margaretha Becker
 
29 California death record gives mother as Unknown Beltz and father as Gottfried Becker. Anna Marie's great granddaughter, GMC, reports that she has information that suggests Anna Marie's mother's name was Barbara Beltz. Anna Marie Becker
 
30 There are three Becker families on the Kukkus First Settlers List (David, Balthasar and Johann Adam). All three originate from Berghausen, Solms-Braunfels Principality, Hessen, Germany. From information in the Solms-Braunfels Archives we know that David is the son of Bernhardt Becker, but the other Beckers are not mentioned in that document. Being from the same village suggests that all three are probably related, perhaps brothers, perhaps cousins. Birthdates for the three are 1743, 1745 and 1747.

Balzer Becker
Age 20, ref, farmer from Berghausen, Braunfels
Wife: Marianna 18

Anna and her other 4 children are not on the Kukkus First Settler List. Perhaps her eldest son, Balzer went his own way to Kukkus after getting married and she went elsewhere.
 
Baltasar Becker
 
31 1798 Census states Mararetha is widow of David Becker David Becker
 
32 Farmer from Berghausen, Braunfels, Germany. Son of the widow of Bernhardt Becker.
There are three Becker families on the Kukkus First Settlers List (David, Balthasar and Johann Adam). All three originate from Berghausen, Solms-Braunfels Principality, Hessen, Germany. From information in the Solms-Braunfels Archives we know that David is the son of Bernhardt Becker, but the other Beckers are not mentioned in that document.

Marquadt & Mai #344: David Becker from Berghausen in the area of Gräfenstein & Anna Maria Steckenmeister from Allendorff in the area of Gräfenstein, married 17 May 1766 in Friedburg.

Ref, farmer from Braunfels
Wife: Margaretha

David Becker, ref
Wife: Anna Margreta

1767 Kukkus First Settler List #31
Age 22, ref, farmer from Berghausen, Braunfels
Wife: Katharina Elisabeth 21
Daughter: Anna Margaretha 2 weeks

Different wife names. Perhaps Anna Margareta and Anna Maria are the same person and then Katharina Elisabeth is a second spouse.
Name David Becker of Berghausen appears in Solms-Braunfels Archives as asking to emigrate to Volga Russia in 1766. It is also mentioned that he is the son of Bernhardt Becker. The other two Beckers are not mentioned in those archives. All three Becker families in Kukkus are from Berghausen, the same town in Braunfels. David and Balzer are in the same family group on the transport List. Although Johann Adam does not appear on the transport list (It is not complete), it would be reasonable to assume that all 3 Beckers are related.
 
David Becker
 
33 1834 census seems to have him born in 1827 when his father died in 1825. Georg Becker
 
34 Farmer from Berghausen, Braunfels, Germany.
There are three Becker families on the Kukkus First Settlers List (David, Balthasar and Johann Adam). All three originate from Berghausen, Solms-Braunfels Principality, Hessen, Germany.

36 Obituary from the Sacramento Bee:
BECKER Entered into rest in this city, May 12, 1944, John P. Becker, beloved husband of Marie Becker loving father of Alex, Henry, John, Manuel, Robert, Virginia and Bettie Becker. Mrs. Olga Compton, Mrs. Minnie Rouse, Mrs. Emily Baker and the late Philip Becker, a native of Russia, aged 54 years. Friends are invited to attend the funeral Monday at 2 P. M. from the Palm Chapel of James R. Garlick, corner of Twentieth and P Streets. Interment East Lawn. 
John Philip Becker
 
37 2nd wife of Johannes Reitz Katharina Becker
 
38 Believed to be daughter of Unknown Becker and Unknown Felsing. Perhaps this is Johann Philip Becker b1823 and Anna Maria Felsing b. 1825. As their daughter Katharina Margaretha appears on the 1857 census as one year old, this would mean the birth date would have to be 16 Sep 1856 to make sense. Katharina Margaretha Becker
 
39 Possibly same person as Maria Katharina Becker b. 1832 dau of Johann Peter Becker Maria Katharina Becker
 
40 Possibly same person as Maria Katharina Becker b. 1832 wife of Johann Konrad Reitz Maria Katharina Becker
 
41 Listed on Warenburg 1798 Census as from Kukkus. Only known Beier family in Kukkus at the time was Johannes and Elisabeth, which is why I placed her in this family. Anna Katharina Beier
 
42 1775 Census Revision for Schilling states Konrad Bell, Bachelor, age 25 "farms with the aid of relatives" The 1775 revision list for Schilling furthur notes that Konrad Bell, along with 2 other bachelors "Assigned to the colonies as laborers. According to testimony of the community they came alone to Russian and did not receive loans for farming. They were living in Lesnoy Karamysh (Grimm) with Grimm. They were in the colony of Gololobovka (Doenhof) and kinder (?) in that colony. They are currently engaged in farming, and with time will marry. Upon entering the economy they hope to be able to pay their debts. They are currently unable to assume the responsibility."
 
Konrad Bell
 
43 Konrad Bell appears on the 1798 Kukkus Census in household #7 with his wife Margareta Heisner (Geisner?)(from Schilling). His birthdate is 1750. He has one daughter Maria Barbara from a prior deceased wife.

Bell does not appear to be a common name in the Volga Colonies. A check of the Kuhlberg Lists shows 1 Bell, Konrad Bell, a single man, from Stolberg, a servant of Ludwig Hoff, doc #1656.

A check of the index of first settler lists does not show any Bell's. However a Bell does show up on the 1775 census revision for Schilling (Schilling does not have a 1st Settler List). the 1775 Census Revision for Schilling states Konrad Bell, bachelor, born 1750, "farms with the aid of relatives"
It would appear that Konrad Bell was perhaps the only Bell to immigrate to the Volga Colonies, or at least one of very few.

The 1775 revision list for Schilling furthur notes that Konrad Bell, along with 2 other bachelors "Assigned to the colonies as laborers. According to testimony of the community they came alone to Russia and did not receive loans for farming. They were living in Lesnoy Karamysh (Grimm) with Grimm. They were in the colony of Gololobovka (Doenhof) and kinder (?) in that colony. They are currently engaged in farming, and with time will marry. Upon entering the economy they hope to be able to pay their debts. They are currently unable to assume the responsibility."

The 1798 census from Brent Mai's book listing all of the census records from 1798 shows only two Bell families, Konrad Bell in Kukkus and another Bell in Dinkel. The goal of this line of reasoning is to show that if we find any Bell's in Kukkus they are almost certainly without a doubt descendants of Konrad Bell.

In the 1834 census we do not find Konrad Bell, but we do find 3 Bell children all born between 1803 and 1810. Johannes, Konrad and Johann Philipp. They are living in the household of Philipp Neidhardt in 1816 (per the 1834 census-see household #102-P28) as step-children from his deceased wife. Based on our reasoning above we can conclude the following:

" These 3 children are sons of Konrad Bell.
" Konrad Bell died between 1810 and 1816.
" His widow Margareta Geisner remarried Philipp Neidhardt after 1810 and then herself died at some unknown date.

Continuing with the same reasoning, we can conclude that any Bells whom we find on the 1857 census are the 3 sons of Konrad and their descendants. On the 1857 census we find the following Bell's and the household #:

" #18 Christina age 23 (spouse of Christian Reitz)
" #33 Maria Margaretha age 30 (spouse of Konrad Baum)
" #47 Konrad age 51 (one of the sons) along with 9 children and grand children
" #49 Johannes age 54 (one of the sons) along with 6 children and grand children
" #70 Phillip age 48 (one of the sons) along with 8 children and grand children
" #98 Anna Elisabeth age 26 (spouse of Johannes Heizenrader)
" #103 Katharina Margaretha age 26 (spouse of Andreas Maser)

Of the 4 females listed Christina born in 1834 does not appear on the 1834 census. Katharina Margaretha appears as the daughter of Johannes born 1830. Katharina Margaretha appears also as the daughter of Johannes born 1830. Maria Margaretha appears also as the daughter of Johannes born 1827.

I cannot find Konrad Bell on a transport list or a first settler list.

Probably sons Christoph and Johannes are the same person.

59 Note on Surname Chart: 6/27/1896 He and family moved to Buruck Tereck Village, Omsk

There is some uncertainly to his parentage. We are unsure exactly when Johann Konrad switched from wife 1 Elisabeth Witter to wife 2 Maria Margaretha Becker. We are assuming it was prior to 1851 to accomodate the birth of Susanna Maria and Johannes, but we cannot be sure.

72 Johann Georg Rothermel was born in Hammelbach (northwest of Weinheim) on 23 September 1713. He married on 13 February 1741 in Wald-Michelbach to Eva Margaretha Erhard. She had been born 14 October 1714 in Lichtenklingen. They have two sons who were born in Lichtenklingen: Georg Peter (born 4 February 1745) and Georg Leonhard (born 14 March 1749).
The Rothermel family immigrated first to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) and then on to Russia in 1763. They arrived in the colony of Anton on 7 September 1764. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Households No. 6 (Georg), No. 16 (Peter), and No. 24 (Leonhard).

85 We only know this person by name thruough a note in the 1798 census as the deceased father of Johann Georg. Based on the date of birth of Johann Georg,1784, his father had to be born prior to 1767, thus he had to be listed on the 1767 census. There were two Felsing(er) familes on the 1767 census and each has one possible match to Johannes. Johann Georg Felsinger born 1761 in Krasnoyar appears on the 1798 Krasnoyar census as the deceased father of Konrad Felsinger born 1784. Johann Konrad Felsing born 1759 in Paulskaya appears on the 1767 census, but appears nowhere in 1798.

Johannes 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 Pete Debus had a son with his second wife in 1791, which means 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. 
Johannes Felsing
 
86 Birth and death records for same date are inconsistent. Birth record shows Ida, female. Death record, same day shows John, male. John Felsing

96 1798 census notes she is from Kutter Magdalena Forster
 
97 We have a contradiction here. As per the 1798 Kukkus census, 3 yr old Barbara was the child of a deceased wife, not of the current wife. As per the 1798 Laub movement chart Maria Magdalena Friedrich of Laub married August Klemm of Kukkus in 1793. Obviously, one of the records is incorrect. Was Barbara older than 3, is the marriage date wrong or is the 'child of deceased wife' note incorrect?

176 Per Frank Schlegel she is the daughter of an Ulmann and an Eurich. Katharina Margaretha Hergenroeder
 
177 Probably daughter of Johannes and Philipina Hergenroeder of Kukkus. The Kukkus 1798 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. 1834 census lists Anna Barbara as her name. However the Hergenroeder Surname Chart by Pleve does not show Johannes having this child. But again there is a 9 year gap between children, so it is possible that there could be an unknown or unrecorded birth in that gap. Maria Barbara Hergenroeder

197 From cvgs/origins website:
Johann Michael Johann was born on 28 February 1739 in Ober-Schönmattenweg (east of Weinheim), today in Baden-Württemberg. He immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) and settled in the colony of Veltenhof. He married on 26 May 1760 in the colony of Fredericia (Denmark) to Eva Margaretha Sattler. She was born in about 1736 in Affolterbach.
They immigrated to Russia in 1763, and arrived in the colony of Anton on 7 September 1764. They and their children are recorded on the 1767census of Anton where Michael is serving as the Vorsteher (mayor) in Household No. 1.

From http://www.russia-colonists.eu/wandere.htm by Gerhard Lang
MIGRATION OF COLONISTS FROM GERMANY IN 1761 TO SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN AND LATER TO THE VOLGA IN 1763.
In 1761, the Danish king (Duke of Schleswig-Holstein) recruited people from souther Germany to settle in Schleswig-Holstein, to drain the bogs and swamps and make the land productive. Many Germans answered the appeal. Later the worsening economic situation and resentment by local domestic workmen caused some colonists to break their contract with the king and desert. As the number of desertions increased, provision was made for colonists to apply for permission to leave.
At the same time, czarina Katharina the Great issued the manifesto that encouraged people to come to Russia. Among the inducements was provision for advance payment of colonist costs for the journey. There was a resident recruiter of colonists in Kiel.
The colonist records in Schleswig show that many colonists left, some requesting permission to do so while others simply deserted without a trace. Transport lists of those leaving from Travemünde and Lübeck are not to be found.
The Kuhlberg lists do provide listings of colonists arriving in Russia. The Volga village census records are another source. By comparing family names and ther names and ages of family members, I come to the conclusion that there is a high probability that many of the families that left Schleswig-Holstein became colonists on the Volga.

"Johann Philip was arrested by the Soviets in Engels on November 20, 1937. He was tried for anti Soviet agitation, for plotting to overthrow Soviet power and for praising fascism. He was found guilty and was executed on December 1, 1937.
He was a Carpenter - cabinet maker at Engels hospital.
Aug 2006: Received email from Ruth Reifschneider Herzog. A little more of their story.
"Maria Sophia Reifschneider was my Aunt. In 1998 my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting the last surviving son of this family, Emanuel, and his wife and children at Emanuel's home in Heidenheim. Several sad stories: Maria Sophia had come to the US in 1908 with her parents. Philip followed her they married in 1909. They returned to Kukkus with their three sons in 1913 for an unknown reason. In 1920 they sold
everything and got to Saratov when they learned Russia had canceled all emmigration to the US so they were never to return to the US."

207 Suspect she is the daughter of Johann Martin Kisselman and Anna Barbara Maser based on 2 facts:

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

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

212 A possibility that this is the same as Johann Klaus who appears on the Kuhlberg list as being born 1760, does not show on the first settler list. Which would mean the first settler list is in error, as it does not show any children for Wilhelm Kloss(Klaus) Adam Klaus

217 We have a contradiction here. As per the 1798 Kukkus census, 3 yr old Barbara was the child of a deceased wife, not of the current wife. As per the 1798 Laub movement chart Maria Magdalena Friedrich of Laub married August Klemm of Kukkus in 1793. Obviously, one of the records is incorrect. Was Barbara older than 3, is the marriage date wrong or is the 'child of deceased wife' note incorrect?

From the AHSGR website: Maser: said by the Kukkus FSL to be from Loehnfeld(?), Kurpfalz. Eleanor Sissell (2010) has proven the place is Lengfeld, which in modern times is in Hessen. She has the Maser family, prior to their coming to Lengfeld in church records of Switzerland. The children born in Kurpfalz were spelled Maaser while the FSL spells it Maser.

Also from the AHSGR website:Loehnfeld(?), Kurpfalz: Alton Sissell (2005) using an LDS film and a visit to the village, proved this is Lengfeld. It is said by the Kukkus FSL to be home to Hoefner, Maser, Schaefer, and maybe Houg? families. Alton Sissell (2005) in the same fashion as the earlier sentence proved this to be the place which the Maser/Maaser family left to go to Russia.

Lichtenklingen - Jütland - Anton
from http://cvgs.cu-portland.edu/origins/r/rothermel_anton.cfm
Johann Georg Rothermel was born in Hammelbach (northwest of Weinheim) on 23 September 1713. He married on 13 February 1741 in Wald-Michelbach to Eva Margaretha Erhard. She had been born 14 October 1714 in Lichtenklingen. They have two sons who were born in Lichtenklingen: Georg Peter (born 4 February 1745) and Georg Leonhard (born 14 March 1749).
The Rothermel family immigrated first to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) and then on to Russia in 1763. They arrived in the colony of Anton on 7 September 1764. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Households No. 6 (Georg), No. 16 (Peter), and No. 24 (Leonhard).

MIGRATION OF COLONISTS FROM GERMANY IN 1761 TO SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN AND LATER TO THE VOLGA IN 1763.
In 1761, the Danish king (Duke of Schleswig-Holstein) recruited people from souther Germany to settle in Schleswig-Holstein, to drain the bogs and swamps and make the land productive. Many Germans answered the appeal. Later the worsoning economic situation and resentment by local domestic workmen caused some colonists to break their contract with the king and desert. As the number of desertions increased, provision was made for colonists to apply for permission to leave.
At the same time, czarina Katharina the Great issued the manifesto that encouraged people to come to Russia. Amough the enducements was provision for advance payment of colonist costs for the journey. There was a resident recruiter of colonist in Kiel.
The colonist records in Schleswig show that many colonists left, some requesting permission to do so while others simply deserted without a trace. Transport lists of those leaving from Travemünde and Lübeck are not to be found.
The Kuhlberg lists do provide listings of colonists arriving in Russia. The Volga village census records are another source. By comparing family names and ther names and ages of family members, I come to the conclusion that there is a high probability that many of the families that left Schleswig-Holstein became colonists on the Volga.

1767 Kukkus First Settler List #28
Shows his widow Appolonia, 38, married to Friedrich Stahl
Children: Friedrich 12, Andreas 6, Maria Katharina 9

Paul Otto is not on the Kukkus FSL, but his widow and children are in the household of Friedrich Stahl as wife and stepchildren.
 
Paul Otto
 
276 The 1834 census of Kukkus shows Andreas Otto with grandson Wilhelm living in his household with the note "grandson by an unnamed son". It makes sense that perhaps Wilhelm was the son of Wilhelm from Andreas’s first marriage, but that is not specified.
 
Unknown Otto
 
277 Possibly this is the Heinrich Wilhelm Otto in Bangert on the 1834 census who has a birthdate of 1785-1786

The 1834 census of Kukkus shows Andreas Otto with grandson Wilhelm living in his household with the note "grandson by an unnamed son". It makes sense that perhaps Wilhelm b.1812 was the son of this Wilhelm from Andreas's first marriage, (as we know of no other sons) but that is not specified.

281 Pleve shows this marriage on the Reifschneider surname chart. But analysis suggests that entry is a mistake. Anna Christina would be the daughter of Johann Friedrich's sister. That is difficult to believe. Even more so in the type of society that existed in Kukkus, it seems implausible. Furthermore, when did they marry? Children beginning in 1804 is too soon for Anna Christina born 1791. Maria Eva being alive in 1834 heading the household after Friedrich's death seems to eliminate Christina marrying him later. By the way, the 1857 census still shows as head of household Maria Eva Schweizer born Drexler 71 widow. They only real possibility, in my opinion, seems to be that Pleve is mistaken.
 
Anna Christina Reifschneider
 
282 1798 Census notes she is from Kutter Anna Maria Reifschneider
 
283
The death of Friedrich's mother, Henrietta Wick, must have occurred early in his life, probably before the age of five. Henry P Reifschneider said that his grandfathers had no recollection of his mother. Friedrich considered himself an orphan, since the early death of his mother and the death of his father around 1872 to 1874. He refgretted that he was unable to continue his education, and support his children and grandhcildren in their schooling. At some point, Friedrich entered into the household of Johann Andreas Eurich, possible to work, and alter married Andreas' daughter Maria Sophia. (Notes provided by Frank Schlegel)

285 It is uncertain if Johann Friedrich remarried after his first spouse died, or if there was only one spouse.

Johann Friedrich's child Georg Friedrich b. 1838 shows Christina Seib as mother on the St John's church death records in Lincoln, Nebraska. As the 1834 census shows Maria Katharina Unknown and 2 earlier children had Christina in their names, it seems a possibility that Maria Katharina Unknown may in all actuality be Maria Christina Seib. The confusion over the mothers name could be caused by a transcription or translating error on the 1834 census??? Pleve on his Reifschneider surname chart for Kukkus shows Maria Katharina as the mother also. He does not show two spouses or a deceased spouse.

If these two names represent two separate females, then Christina would have died after 8 Mar 1838, Georg Friedrich's birth date, and then Johann Friedrich remarried after that. 
Johann Friedrich Reifschneider
 
286 Comment supplied by Bill Schmidt 2009: Grandpa Johann Jacob Reifschneider did NOT have the second marriage to Mary Schwartz Krause in 1915, whoever she may be. I know it is on the Pleve charts, but it didn't happen. Note that Grandma Margaret Katherine lived until 1926, and he died in 1922.
 
Johann Jakob Reifschneider
 
287 Re RAGAS Search #723. Entered the military service in 1889 draft; According to order of
the Samara State Chamber of 17 June 1896 #8861 he was forwarded with his wife Maria
and daughter Catharina to settlement on plot #1 near the place named Burterek, Omsk
district (West Siberia). --per Frank Schlegel 
Johann Jakob Reifschneider
 
288 Reformed Faith, farmer from Trenburg, arrived in Oranienbaum(not far from Saint Petersburg) on 8/29/1765 by the ship "Elephant". Their children arrived in Norka Colony on 8/18/1767. Before 1788 he moved to Kukkus Colony. (dates as transcribed-1788 move not make since he died before 1768-unless it means his family moved?) Johann Konrad Reifschneider
 
289 According to Dr. Pleve's letter of 15.09.1997, Johannes Reifschneider, was orphaned during his way
from Oranienbaum (near St. Petersberg) to the Volga region. He was adopted by the family of
Johann Heinrich Weber, who settled in the Norka colony. Johannes married Maragaretha Schweitzer
of Kukkus, and moved to Kukkus. Pleve states that Margaretha's parents were Johann Friedrich
Schweitzer and Catharina. The above letter was provided with Dr. Pleve's Kukkus Reifschneider
chart. It should be noted that Johannes Reifschneider's last name was misspelled in translation of the
AHSGR 1775 Norka census.---Per Frank Schlegel 
Johannes Reifschneider
 
290 Listed on 1834 census as Konrad Reifschneider. Children match up, age matches up, death year matches up and step-son is a Weber. Either Konrad or Johannes is a middle name or else the name on the census or on the surname chart is simply wrong. Johannes Reifschneider
 
291 The Reifschneider Surname Chart by Pleve shows two spouses (Katherine Louisa Houire and Eva Trummuller) for Johannes, but does not give marriage dates. The 1834 census shows a spouse of Katherina Louisa Unknown. The 1857 Census shows a spouse of Eva Trummuller. As the children were all born between 1834 and 1857 it is uncertain who the mother was of each child. Johannes Reifschneider
 
292 We do not have proof that the Katharina Elisabeth Reifschneider who married Johann Heinrich Felsing in Kukkus is the same Katharina Elisabeth Reifschneider who appears on the 1857 Kukkus census as age 15. However, we believe it is highly likely that she is the same person. Katharina Elisabeth Reifschneider
