Could this be the same child as the "Catharina" born in 1830? I cannot find a death entry for that child,
nor a birth entry for this one!

Schlachtin, South Russia. Lived In Novochortitza By Bartels. Er heiratete Maria Unger.

from the part of the record possibly written by Helena Bartel (b. 1909). Nine children are
listed in the source of her year of death: Alexander (b. 1892), Bernhard (b. 1894), Lena (b.
1896; marr. Dietrich Rempel) , Anna (1898-1899), Anna (b. 1900), Mariechen (b. 1902;

Er heiratete (2) Susanna Wiebe.
v Maria Epp, * 22 Aug 1877 in Novo Podolsk, Judenplan, South Russia, † 1974 in Rosthern,
Saskatchewan. One family record indicates that she was the daughter of a Cornelius Epp
and _____ Dyck, and the granddaughter of Dietrich Epp & Maria Unger. However, the birth
years of the "grandparents" make this impossible. Could Cornelius be an uncle? She was
raised at the Razien Forstei. Married Franz Janzen (1870-1915), Johan Penner (1862-1933)
and then apparently Gerhard Enns (1862-1952), according to the source of her date of

old when she died, according to the Familienverzeignis (beige notebook) of Franz Bartel (b.
1865). Thus she must have been born on May 29, 1884.
ix Peter Epp, * 1886, † 1915.
x Luise Epp, * 3 Sep 1890, † 27 Nov 1979 in Vancouver, British Columbia. One record calls

Molotschna, South Russia. One record says she was born in Riesenberg, Prussia. One record says she
died at Koenigsberg, Prussia. She was born at the estate called "Lase." It is possible that she didn't
marry Johannes Rempel in 1834. Either she married Johannes Rempel prior to 1830 or Johannes
Rempel was married to someone else prior to 1830 who was the mother of his son Gustav.
2 Mar 1839.

Ediger that married Abraham Cornelius! She is listed as a "Jungfrau" at the time of her
1806 marriage to Ediger, even though she is also said to be 33 at that time. However, I
cannot locate another appropriate candidate for the Cornelius wedding. Clarification is
needed. Sie heiratete (1) Abraham Cornelius. Sie heiratete (2) Heinrich Ediger, Heirat 1806

177. Anna Bergmann, * 4 Jan 1762 in Rosenort, Gross Werder, Prussia, † 15 Nov 1796 in Chortitza Colony,
South Russia. BH Unruh says she was born in Blumenort, Prussia on 10 Jan 1762. Another record says
she was from Rosenort, Prussia. One family record says she was born 16 Jan (n.s.) and died 15 Dec.
The Nick J. Harder submission says she was born 1 Jan 1762. The Robert Cornies submission says she
died 3 Dec 1796. Henry Schapansky says she was born 16 Jan 1752. The date of death shown here (15
Nov 1796) precedes her youngest daughter's birth. Johann Epp puts her as: Bergmann or Bargmann. Sie
heiratete (1) David Epp, Heirat 17 Jul 1780 in Prussia, * 15 Jun 1750 in Rosenort, Gross Werder,

178. Heinrich Thiessen, * 1 Oct 1755 in Walldorf, Gross Werder, Prussia, † 3 May 1838 in Chortitza,
Chortitza, South Russia. He migrated to Russia from Walldorf, Prussia in 1804 (B. H. Unruh, 352; P.
Rempel, p. 86). He is not listed in the 1808 Molotschna Colony Census or in the Oct 1816 Chortitza
Colony Census. David Epp's diary entry states that he died on 3 May 1838 at the age of 82 years, 7
months, and 2 days after a 9 week illness. This would suggest that he was born 1 Oct 1755 (Old
Style) or 12 Oct 1755 (New Style). The diary indicates that he had 10 children, 2 of whom were alive
in 1838 and that he had 30 grandchildren, 22 of whom were alive in 1838. Katie Peters's book
"Genealogy of Heinrich Thiessen" on p. 6 says was born 1 Oct 1755. One source says he died 4 Jul
1838, which is likely incorrect. B. H. Unruh, on p. 352, says he was born in 1759, which is likely
incorrect.
Heinrich and Maria Thiessen came to the Molotschna settlement in 1804 but decided to go to the
Chortitza colony and settled in Ekaterinoslav. Their two oldest children, Dietrich and Catharina,

Kinder:
i Durck Heinrich Thiessen, * Abt 1785, † 1831 in Altonau, Molotschna, South Russia. In the
1808 Molotschna Colony Census he is listed at Tiegenhagen #4 as a friend of Isebrandt
Friesen (b. ca 1773) #45148. The 1835 Census entry for Altonau #22 lists his widow and
daughters, and says he transferred to Altonau from Halbstadt in 1827 and died in 1831.
However, the 1835 Census entry for Halbstadt #32 says that he transferred to Altonau in
1817. Er heiratete Elisabeth _____, Heirat Abt 1807.
ii Catharina Thiessen, * 1788 in Prussia. Stayed In Molotschna.
iii Maria Thiessen, * 1791.
iv Heinrich Thiessen, * 12 Aug 1794, † 28 Sep 1859. In 1817 he moved from Chortitza,
Chortitza Colony to the city of Ekaterinoslav where he was a miller in 1852 per the 1852
List of People Living Outside the Chortitza Colony. In the 1850 Chortitza Colony Census
he was listed at Chortitza #42 with his family, however. In 1852 he owned 2 treadmills, a
vinegar brewery, and a home in Ekaterinoslav. He reportedly lived in Schoenau,
Molotschna Colony at one time as well. Claassen and the diary of Jacob Niebuhr (b. 4 May
1862) gives a death date of 28 Feb 1859. Er heiratete Margaretha Siemens, Heirat 24 Jul

vii Anna Thiessen, * 1803 in Prussia.
179. Maria Woelk, * 1767 in Walldorf, Gross Werder, Prussia, † 30 Mar 1833 in South Russia. David Epp's
diary entry for her husband Heinrich Thiessen states that when he died on 3 May 1838 that he had been
a widower for 5 years and 3 months and that he had been married for 48 years and 28 days. This would
suggest that Maria Woelk died about 3 Feb 1833 rather than 30 Mar 1833.
180. Peter Siemens, * 16 Apr 1765 in Marienburg, Prussia, † 1 Dec 1847 in Chortitza Colony, South Russia.
In the 1795 Chortitza Colony Census he is listed as a recent Flemish Mennonite immigrant residing on
a temporary basis in Schoenwiese (B. H. Unruh, p. 244). He is listed in the 1797 Census, but not in a
specific village (P. Rempel, p. 56). In the 1801 Chortitza Colony Census he is listed at Chortitza #8. In
the 1806 Census he is listed in Chortitza (P. Rempel, p. 6). In the Oct 1816 Census he is listed at
Chortitza #6. He also owned a second homestead at Chortitza #38 in 1814 and 1816. He was the
Oberschulze of the Chortitza Colony from 1801 to 1805 and from 1808 to 1823. "Mennonite Family
History" (Schapansky] July 1994 issue: "He was a late arrival of the first wave of immigrants and was
placed at Schoenwiese in 1795 on a temporary basis. He was given the Schoenhorst homestead of
Martin Wiebe after the death of the latter. After the arrest of Peter Hoeppner, he was given the latter's
homestead at Chortitza, and gave his Schoenhorst homestead to Johann Loeppky. Peter Siemens was
the first, and longest serving Oberschulze (equivalent to mayor or reeve) of the Old Colony, from
1801 to 1805, and from 1808 to 1823."
"Stammbaum der Familie Siemens" (Siemens Family Tree) by Leo Siemens and Dr. U. Hoescher
(Berlin and Goslar, 1910), identified Peter Siemens on page 168. My translation of the comments are
as follows: "RA 1 Peter, born 1765, died 1823. Based on information from RA 15, he was born around
1760 and died in 1845, in his 86th year. Towards the end of the 18th century (1795) he emigrated to
Russia from Marienburg, West Prussia. His wife was born a Klassen. He was a Master Builder
(architect?). Mennonite. From around 1810 to 1823 he was the Oberschulze. During this time, he
received a large silver medal from Kaiser Alexander I for the construction of a church building. The
medal had a recognition band on it and was intended to be worn around the neck (latterly it is in the
possession of RA 9). He reportedly also had brothers and one sister. From the brothers, one reportedly
emigrated to America. The son of another brother came to Russia; his first name was Gerhard." Ron
Siemens (Bragg Creek, Alberta), in his Email of December 14, 2000, reported that the silver medallion

ii Katharina Siemens, * 18 Oct 1792 in Prussia, † 10 Jun 1814 in Chortitza, Chortitza, South
Russia. Her age is given as 9 in the 1801 Chortitza Colony Census, suggesting that she
may have been born about 1792. Ron Siemens (Bragg Creek, Alberta), note:
"Correspondence with Diane/Peter Siemens confirms birth date." Henry Schapansky in his
letter of 2 Feb 1995, with the accompanying family lists, lists Katharina as born in 1793.
The Old Colony, p. 180 and 403, incorrectly give her birth date as 3 Apr 1795 and her
death date as 16 Jul 1814. Sie heiratete Jacob von Kampen, Heirat 21 Nov 1811 in
iii Peter Siemens, * 17 Mar 1796 in Chortitza Colony, South Russia, † 2 Apr 1850. In the Oct
1816 Chortitza Colony Census he is listed at Chortitza #6 with his father. Ron Siemens
(Bragg Creek) note: "Correspondence with Diane/Peter Siemens confirms birth date."
Johann Epp's book "Gedenke des ganzen Weges . . . Band 1 : Die Geschichte der Familien
Epp, Froese, Unger, Lepp, u. a." on p. 30 incorrectly says that Peter Siemens was born in
1800. The diary of Jacob Niebuhr (b. 4 May 1862) says he was born 18 Feb 1796. The Old
Colony, p. 180, says he was born 17 Mar 1796. Er heiratete Anna Lepp, Heirat 7 May 1815.
iv Margaretha Siemens, * 23 Jul 1797 in Chortitza Colony, South Russia, † 18 Feb 1798. Ron

Heritage Remembered, p 217."
v Margaretha Siemens, * 2 Feb 1799 in Chortitza Colony, South Russia, † 24 Feb 1881 in
South Russia. Her age is given as 58 in the 1852 List of People Living Outside the
Chortitza Colony, suggesting that she may have been born ca 1794. Sie heiratete Heinrich
Thiessen, Heirat 24 Jul 1817.
vi Julius Peter Siemens, * 16 Sep 1801 in Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia, † 8 Nov 1870 in
Schoenwiese, Chortitza, South Russia. In the 1858 Schoenwiese Census is listed at
Schoenwiese #34. The entry says he transferred to Chortitza in 1852. His n. s. birth date
was 28 Sep 1801. The diary of Jacob Niebuhr (b. 4 May 1862) gives his death date as 21
Aug 1870, but The Old Colony, p. 180 and 397, give his death date as 8 Nov 1870. One
source says he was born in Schoenwiese, but this seems likely to be incorrect since his
birthplace is given as Chortitza in the 1801 Chortitza Colony Vital Records. Er heiratete
Katharina Anna Entz, Heirat 26 Sep 1822 in Chortitza Colony, South Russia.

1808 whereas Schapansky in his 2001 book lists it as October 1, 1808. I have left Ron's
date. Mary Dueck says he was born in Chortitza, not Prussia. He was Chairman of the
Agricultural Commission of Chortitza Colony following Cornies' death in 1848 until his
own death in 1853. His family was listed at Chortitza #6 in the 1858 Census per a 1916
document in the possession of Mary Dueck. Er heiratete Maria Dyck, Heirat 27 Mar 1827 in

he is not listed in his father's family in the Oct 1816 Chortitza Colony Census.
xiii Jacob Siemens, * 20 Jul 1813 in Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia, † May 1888 in
Lamberton, Minnesota. His Gregorian calender birth date was 1 Aug 1813. In the Mountain
Lake records he is not listed with any wives or children, but in the Bergthal records he is
listed with his 2 wives and with 10 children (21A). From Bergthal Colony. Moved To
Minnesota.
His age is not given in the 1814 Chortitza Colony vaccination lists, but he was likely born ca
1809-1814.

Mountain Lake records have no family listed but Bergthal Gemeinde Buch (A21) lists his
two wives and 10 children. PETERS has birth date as Aug. 1, 1813 (European?). He
moved from Bergthal to Minnesota." Er heiratete (1) Maria Buhr, Heirat 30 Oct 1834, * 8

entry for her in David Epp's dairy dated 22 Feb 1843 her age at the time of her death on 18 Feb 1843
was 75 years, 4 weeks, and 1 day, suggesting she was born about 20 Jan 1768. She had 54
grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren at the time of her death. She had been ill for 7 days prior to her
death.
184. Peter Unger, * 21 Apr 1753 in Prussia, † 27 Dec 1818 in Insel Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia. In
the 1795 Chortitza Colony Census he is listed at #12 (B. H. Unruh, p. 239). In the 1801 Chortitza
Colony Census he is listed at Insel Chortitza #11. In the Oct 1816 Chortitza Colony Census he is listed
at Insel Chortitza #11 where his family's 1814 Census data is given. Some records record his birth as 1
April 1753. In the 1795 Census his age is given as 41, suggesting that he was born ca 1754. In the
1801 Census his age is given as 46, suggesting that he was born ca 1755. In the 1814 Census data for
him found in the Oct 1816 Census his age is given as 58, suggesting that he was born ca 1756. Er

He was a descendent of Peter Unger (b. 21 Apr 1753) #199271 per National Archives
microfilm #T81 628, p. 5426026. The 1814 Insel Chortitza census states that Johann, son
of Peter Unger, was 9 years old, suggesting that if Johann was the son of Peter Unger then
he was born ABT 1805 and not 1810. The year of birth of 1810 stated by Helena (Neufeld)
Esau might be an estimate only. The 1848 heads of households list for Chortitza gives his
place of registration as Einlage. Er heiratete Helena Hiebert, Heirat 17 Oct 1830 in Chortitza

185. Helena _____, * Abt 1775 in Prussia. Her ages as given in the 1795 and 1801 Censuses suggest that
she was born ca 1775. In the 1814 Census data for her found in the Oct 1816 Census her age is given
as 30, suggesting that she was born ca 1784.

Blumstein #15 says that son Johann's father was named Abraham! Further research is
needed to determine whether the 1835 Molotschna Census was in error in this regard or not.

Pilgrims, p. 309). He emigrated to Molotschna on Aug 23 , 1804 with his nephew Klaas Reimer (b. 14

Kinder:

ii Peter Siemens, * 16 Apr 1765 in Marienburg, Prussia, † 1 Dec 1847 in Chortitza Colony,
South Russia. In the 1795 Chortitza Colony Census he is listed as a recent Flemish
Mennonite immigrant residing on a temporary basis in Schoenwiese (B. H. Unruh, p. 244).
He is listed in the 1797 Census, but not in a specific village (P. Rempel, p. 56). In the 1801
Chortitza Colony Census he is listed at Chortitza #8. In the 1806 Census he is listed in
Chortitza (P. Rempel, p. 6). In the Oct 1816 Census he is listed at Chortitza #6. He also
12 Apr 2012
Seite 26
owned a second homestead at Chortitza #38 in 1814 and 1816. He was the Oberschulze of
the Chortitza Colony from 1801 to 1805 and from 1808 to 1823. "Mennonite Family
History" (Schapansky] July 1994 issue: "He was a late arrival of the first wave of
immigrants and was placed at Schoenwiese in 1795 on a temporary basis. He was given the
Schoenhorst homestead of Martin Wiebe after the death of the latter. After the arrest of
Peter Hoeppner, he was given the latter's homestead at Chortitza, and gave his Schoenhorst
homestead to Johann Loeppky. Peter Siemens was the first, and longest serving
Oberschulze (equivalent to mayor or reeve) of the Old Colony, from 1801 to 1805, and from
1808 to 1823."
"Stammbaum der Familie Siemens" (Siemens Family Tree) by Leo Siemens and Dr. U.
Hoescher (Berlin and Goslar, 1910), identified Peter Siemens on page 168. My translation
of the comments are as follows: "RA 1 Peter, born 1765, died 1823. Based on information
from RA 15, he was born around 1760 and died in 1845, in his 86th year. Towards the end
of the 18th century (1795) he emigrated to Russia from Marienburg, West Prussia. His wife
was born a Klassen. He was a Master Builder (architect?). Mennonite. From around 1810
to 1823 he was the Oberschulze. During this time, he received a large silver medal from
Kaiser Alexander I for the construction of a church building. The medal had a recognition
band on it and was intended to be worn around the neck (latterly it is in the possession of
RA 9). He reportedly also had brothers and one sister. From the brothers, one reportedly
emigrated to America. The son of another brother came to Russia; his first name was
Gerhard." Ron Siemens (Bragg Creek, Alberta), in his Email of December 14, 2000,
reported that the silver medallion is in California in the possession of Peter and Diane
Siemens of Los Gatos. Er heiratete Katharina Klassen, Heirat 3 Oct 1790.
iii Katherina Siemens, * 19 Jun 1767.
iv Johann Jakob Siemens, * 24 Dec 1771 in Beiershorst, Gross Werder, Prussia, † 1809 in
Rosenthal, Chortitza, South Russia. Johann lived in Rosenthal in 1802, 1803, and 1808
(Schapansky, MFH, July, 1992, p. 116). He received his homestead from Johann Neufeld
(probably an uncle of Anna), after Neufeld's death and before 1802 (Schapansky, MFH,
July, 1992, p. 116). In the 1802 Chortitza census he is listed at Rosenthal #20 and in the
1808 census he is listed at Rosenthal #19 (B. H. Unruh, p. 263). He migrated to Russia in
1795 from Brunau, W. Prussia (B. H. Unruh, p. 263).
Schapansky noted that Johann had immigrated to Russia in 1796-98. His records were
found in the records of Rosenthal in 1802, 1803, and 1808. Prior to 1802, he took over the
farm of Johann Neufeld after Neufeld's death (probably was an uncle of Anna, Johann's
wife, according to Schapansky). Er heiratete Anna Neufeld.

is needed. Er heiratete Katarina _____.

Per the entry for her in David Epp's dairy dated 22 Feb 1843 her age at the time of her death
on 18 Feb 1843 was 75 years, 4 weeks, and 1 day, suggesting she was born about 20 Jan

given as 24, suggesting that she was born ca 1777. In the 1808 Census her age is given as

lists an Aganetha P. Epp born abt 1745. This is not possible since both Peter and Anna were no

Lutheran, and he was raised and confirmed in that faith. However, he went to Amsterdam in 1706 and
was baptised into the Mennonite Church there. After his marriage, he settled on the Peter Pauls estate at
Tiegerweide, Prussia. He was elected elder of the Grosswerder Gemeinde in 1736. The marriages given
for Agatha and Sara are likely, as the name is so rare, and he was the "first" Mennonite Andres.
However, I have not yet seen documentary evidence that the "Agatha's" and "Sara's" are the same
people. Er heiratete (1) Ida Klaassen, Heirat 5 Oct 1710 in Tiegerweide, Gross Werder, Prussia, * 11
