to be from

the colonist was
born 5 February1716
in

married
Strauch{A.Maria}
there on 28 August
1742, some of his
children were born
in

there:

Ittingen(?).
ZornFN:
said by the
Orlovskaya FSL
to be fromUC
Graefenhainichen;
a
Hank
father-in-law was
living with them
which would indicate
that frau Zorn’s
maiden name was
Hank. However, the 1798
Orlovskaya
census gives her
maiden name as
Haupt (Mai1798:35).
ZornFN{Benedict}:
said by the
Volmer FSL (#42) to be from
Gernsheim,
Kurmainz.
Using
Gernsheim parish
records, Brent
Mai
proved he was born
in Gersheim 1 March
1738.
Brent also says he
married in
Landau-in-der-Pfalz on 4 February 1764 to Kuehnberger{Margaretha}, but his source for that statement is
unclear in
http://cvgs.cu-portland.edu/origins/z/zorn_volmer.cfm.
Zorn(?)GS:
an unidentified
country.
Could this
have been
Solms?

I could not
find this family in
the 1798 Volga
censuses.

probably is Zuchau

FSL to be fromUC
Erbach (now in
the state of
Hessen) and said
by the Kromm version
to be from
Heikelheim, Erbach
County (pp.30,
34).
This
Zirckoebel man
is said by the
Buedingen ML to
be fromUC
Breuschbach and
to
have married in 1766
a
Blumenschein woman fromUC Reichelsee; other versions of this family name include
Zierkoebel and
Zirkoebel. Stumpp says
the family was from
Brensbach near
Dieburg in
Hessen (Mai&Marquardt#704).
The
Blumenschein
woman’s unmarried
sister is said by
the Kromm version of
the
Jagodnaja Poljana
FSL to be from
Erbach (p.131).
Brent Mai
also says he was
born 28 March 1744
in
Brensbach, but
gives no source for
this statement (http://cvgs.cu-portland.edu/origins/z/zirckgiebel_yagodnaya_polyana.cfm).
ZuerichGL,
Schweiz: is 92
miles SSE of
Strassburg, and
said by the
Katharinenstadt
FSL to be homeUC
to
Gattinger,
Kuehn, and Spory
families.
ZuerichVV
(aka
Eckardt,
Eckert, Eckhardt and
Sorkino): a
Lutheran German
colony founded in
1767, moved in 1770,
on the western side
of the Volga river
not far from
Basel and
Wittmann. To the best of
my knowledge no copy
of its First
Settlers’ List has
been found and
published.
Anyone learning of such a document, please let us know immediately.
However, we
have origin
information on a few
of its first or
nearly first
settlers – this
information is
available in
“Kolonisten des
Lokators
Beauregard, die
voruebergehend in
anderen Kolonien
angesiedelt wuerden”
in pages 349-380 of
Pleve,
Einwanderung …,
vol.4. The numbers
in parens below
indicate the
position of a family
in that list,
identified in this
Index as
Lk.
In addition,
we have names of
some who probably
were first settlers
here because either
(1) other colonies
said they moved in
from
Zuerich or they were living in
Zuerich in 1798
– and in both cases
I found no record
saying they had
moved from any other
village to
Zuerich, and
they were not found
in any printed FSL;
such families are
listed below as ‘of
unknown origin’ and
have no number in
parens following
their name.
Placenames in
italics are taken
from Kuhlberg lists
as printed in the
Pleve books.

ZuernFN:
listed in the
Bergdorf 1858 census (KS:668)
as
Zirp/Zuern?without
origin.
The
GCRA, using
FHL(1,240,200)
proved that
Zuern is the
correct name,
originating in
Adolzfurt,
Oehringen [Amt],
Wuerttemberg.
ZuernFN:
settled in 1821 in
Gueldendorf, Odessa,
family records found
by
Curt Renz in
Balingen, Balingen
parish, Wuerttemberg.
Stumpp had
this name as
Zirre.
Zueschen,
Hessen-Kassel [Landgraviate]:
is 23 km SW of
Kassel city and
was said by the
Seelmann FSL to
be homeUC
to

said by the Kromm
version of the
Jagodnaja Poljana
FSL to be homeUC
to a
Zentner man who
was sent here as an
1812 prisoner of war
(p.35).
ZugVV
(aka
Gattung, Maruenskoje): a Roman Catholic German colony founded in 1767, moved
in 1770, on the
eastern side of the
Volga river not far
from
Schoenchen.
To the best
of my knowledge no
copy of its First
Settlers’ List has
been found and
published.
Anyone
learning of such a
document, please let
us know immediately.
However, we
have origin
information on a few
of its first or
nearly first
settlers – this
information is
available
in
“Kolonisten des
Lokators
Beauregard, die
voruebergehend in
anderen Kolonien
angesiedelt wuerden”
in pages 349-380 of
Pleve,
Einwanderung …,
vol.4. The numbers
in parens below
indicate the
position of a family
in that list,
identified in this
Index as
Lk.
In addition,
I have identified
two sets of names of
others who possibly,
or probably, were
Zug first
settlers.
One set is
composed of those
listed in the
Zug 1798 census,
and, though old
enough, were not
found in any other
colony’s FSL, and
were not listed in
the 1780-1797
“movement tables” as
coming from some
other colony to
Zug (those
tables are preserved
in
Mai1798).
A second
much smaller
set is composed of
those listed in some
other colony’s 1798
census with the
notation they had
“come from Zug” with
no indication
anywhere that they
had
earlier been
in any other
colony prior to
Zug.
I consider
families in both
sets as prime
Zug first settler suspects. In the following list the colony’s
initials and
household number
where they were
found in 1798 are
noted.
Placenames in
italics are taken
from Kuhlberg lists
as printed in the
book Pleve edited:
from
Debing?[sic?], Wuerttemberg
[Duchy]:
(Braun37);
from

In 1756 they had a

Later they
moved to

settling in the
Friederichs Mohr
colony on the
Printenhof farmstead
. {J.Matthias} died

Beideck’s First
Settlers.
She died
prior to the 1798
census.

Pfalz-Zweibruechen

In 1797 it
