The

The
Balzer FSL (#59 & 59a) lists three of these
Kukler children,
one as wife of
Kleinfelder{Heinrich}
and two as her
siblings.
In 1798, one
of those siblings is

Rockel{A.Elisabeth}
wife of
May{J.Adam} and

RohlederVV:
aka

shared with us the
FSL that was
published by Anthony
J. Leiker (Pavel M.
Leus, trans.) in
2002; several
geographical
identifications
added by the editor
and others in this
edition are iffy
since it was not
then known that many
place names in the
FSL were countries,
not localities.
According to
this, the first
settlers were from
the following places
with the family
names shown here in
parens. If a family
name occurs more
than once among the
first settlers,
given names in {}
brackets follow the
family name.

So far her

additional

RosenquistFN:
said by the
Enders FSL to be

Saratov, but
does not give her
family name.
I cannot find
this family in the

frau Rosenquist was
said by the
Enders FSL to be

Saratov.
RosenthalFN:
said by the

Kurpfalz: an
unidentified place
said by the

listed by the 1858
Kassel census
(#228) without
origin, but
KS:410 said they
were fromUC
Fellbach,
Waiblingen [Amt],
Wuerttemberg.
The
GCRA believes it is doubtful they were fromUC
Fellbach.
Rosinbrin?GL:
an unidentified
place said by the
Kano FSL to be
homeUC to
an
Untermann
family.
There was a
Rosenborn in what is now Poland.
RosinskiFN:
said by the
Schwed FSL to be
fromUC
Breslow?,
Schweden, with a Feldening
step-son in the
household.
I could not
idenify them or any
likely descendants
in
Mai1798.
RosinskiFN:
the wife, the former
widow
Feldening[?],
was said by the
Schwed FSL to be
fromUC
Koenigsberg,
Preussen. She probably
had died prior to
the 1798 Volga
censuses.
RoskatyVV:
one version of the
Russian name for
RohlederVV.
Roskopf/Grosskopf?FN:
said by the
Volmer FSL to be

Wittlich, Trier.
Still
spelled Roskopf in

For 1793 and

Ross{Magdalena}:
she was in the 1798
Zug census
(Zg32), but was not
found in any FSL
under this family
name, but then this
may have been a
married name in
which case there
would be no way to
find her in an FSL.
Rossmann{Ursula};
evidently the 2nd
wife of
Hecht{J.Joseph}
who was a
Mariental first
settler (mt3).
Around 1797
she married a
Schuck and is
listed in the 1798
Zug census
(Zg22) as his widow.
She does not
seem to be in the
Mariental FSL,
so thus far no hint
of her origin or
prior colony has
turned up.
Roth{Michael}:
in
1788 he left
Zug for Luzern (Mai1798:Mv3062)
where he was in 1798
(Lz18); he was too
young to be named in
an FSL so it is
impossible to make a
reasonable guess as
to where he was a
first settler,
unless his parents
were first settlers
in
Zug.

Rossach,

the group of
colonists
transported under

Boregard FSL to
be homeUC
to a
Lieber family.
Said by the
Koehler FSL to
be homeUC
to a
Rueckert family,
and possibly to a

Might this be

an unidentified
place said by the
Belowescher Kolonien
FSL to be homeUC
to a
Weiwer/Wekwer/Weiler
family.
Rundau{Johann}FN:
said by the

settled, no date
given, in
Gueldendorf, Odessa;
family records found
by
Curt Renz in
Erlenbach,

RunkelGL/GS:
aka
Wied-Runkel County.
The town is
some 25 miles E of
Koblenz city,
some 29 miles NW of
Frankfurt-am-Main,
and was the seat of
Wied-Runkel County,
which county usually
was simply referred
to as Runkel.

Runkel more
often than
not was the
country, not the
town.

family.

RunkelGL,
Kurpfalz: said
by the
Dietel FSL to be
homeUC to
a

It is not
clear that there was
such a place in
Kurpfalz, so
Kurpfalz here is
probably a mistake
and this was the
same place as the
previous entry.
RunkelGL,
Wuerttemberg:
said by the
Doenhof FSL to
be homeUC
to
Funk and
possibly
Mueller families. I am
95% convinced there
was no Runkel,
Wuerttemberg so
either the Runkel or
the Wuerttemberg
must be a mistake.
If
Wuerttemberg was the
mistake, then this
is the same place as
the two previous
entries.
