    Notes:

    Matthias Kisselman was born abt 1732. He married Maria Elisabeth Huber. By 1764 they had emigrated from Kieselbronn, Baden-Württemberg to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) and settled in the colony of Friedrichfeld. They immigrated to Russia in 1763, and arrived in the colony Balzer on 28 August 1765.

    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.

    • Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH32
    • Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH39

    Notes:

    Probably the daughter of Johann Martin Kisselmann b.1772 in Balzer and by 1798 was living in Kukkus. In 1834 Johann Martin Kisselman was living in HH#17, while Johannes Felsing and Maria Elisabeth Kisselman were living in HH#19. Being born in 1814, we do not have a census year which shows a child with her name living in the Johann Martin Kisselmann household.

    We strongly suspect that Maria Elisabeth is the daughter of Johann Martin Kisselman and Anna Barbara Maser based on the following facts:

    • The 1798 census shows only 4 other Kisselman households in the Volga German colonies. Mathias (Johann Martin's brother) in the nearby village of Anton. Mathias (Johann Martin's father in the nearby village of Balzer. Ludwig (No known relation) in the more distant village of Donhof. And Johannes (no known relation) in the more distant village of Grimm.It is certainly possible that Maria Elisabeth came from one of the households in Anton or Balzer. It is much less likely that she came from the more distant villages of Donhof or Grimm. I know of no Kukkus intermarriages from those last two villages.

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

    • Johann Martin lives within 2 households from the Felsings, according to the 1834, 1850 and 1857 census records.

    • Johann Martin was having children from 1796 to at least 1812 that we know of. It is possible then that he had a child in 1814.

    Records from this time and place are simply incomplete. But based on what we know, it is most likely that Maria Elisabeth is the daughter of Johann Martin. Perhaps eventually we will find records to confirm or to dispute that, but for now I am listing Maria Elisabeth in the genealogy under Johann Martin Kisselman.

    Notes:

    JHS Notes:
    In 1850 she was 2, and in 1857 she was 9. Given the dates of the revision lists, both ages tie back to 1848. If she was born in Feb 1847 these would clearly be 3 and 10.
    AHSGR Fresno notes give her death date as 13 Nov 1912 with an age of 64 years, 8 months, 20 days. This would suggest a birth date of about 24 Feb 1848.
    However, the same notes give a birth date of 23 Feb 1847, and her birth year is 1847 on her grave marker.
    I think 24 (or 23) Feb 1848 is actually correct. AHSGR Fresno notes are generally more accurate on the ages rather than the dates, and I'm inclined to think someone subtracted and came up with the wrong date.
    Ihave her as born 23-24 Feb 1848 with a note that her grave marker is believed to have the wrong year.
