Notes:

The records from his migration to Denmark show that he was from Ober-Schönmattenwag, a small village located 3 miles south of Wald-Michelbach. The parish records of Wald-Michelbach record the birth of his parents, spouse and siblings. These German parish records do not note the actual place of birth, only that they were members of the Evangelical parish of Wald-Michelbach. (according to Wikipedia; on the occasion of the territorial reform in Hesse, the regional government approved the integration of the municipality of Ober-Schönmattenwag into the municipality of Wald-Michelbach with effect from 31 December 1971. )

From cvgs/origins website:
Johann Michael Johann was born on 28 February 1739 in Ober-Schönmattenwag (east of Weinheim). 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 1767 census of Anton where Michael is serving as the Vorsteher (mayor) in Household No. 1.

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 their 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.

Notes:

The birth record of Eva Margaretha Sattler appears in the records of the Wald Michelbach Evangelical Church in Starkenburg, Hesse-Darmstadt. The parish records show the date of both, but not the exact location. She probably actually lived in Affolterbach, a village about 3 miles to the north which is a part of the parish.

• Name: Michel Johann
• Reference Number: 5637

Notes:

From familysearch.,org records: Birth date of 25 jun 1686 is entered in the parish records of Wald-Michelbach as Hans Michel Johannes. Hans Michel Johannes is also entered as marrying Eva Eberle in 1715. Hans Michel Johann is entered as marrying Eva Schmitt 17 June 1727 and having children after that date. To be the same people we would have to suppose that Hans married first in 1715, had no children, then married again in 1727 and had children. At this point I would think that we do not have enough to say that they are the same persons.

Hans married Eva Schmitt on 17 Jun 1727 in Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany. Eva was born in 1698; died in 1762. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
