Johann Heinrich Kukkus was born on 18 Apr 1821 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia (son of Konrad Kukkus); died on 6 Mar 1900 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia.

Other Events:

Name: Heinrich Kukkus
Reference Number: 3464
Birth: 1821, Kukkus, Samara, Russia
Residence: 1834, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH45
Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH62
Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH71

Notes:

1886 Kukkus Family List has Heinrich as the 'Son of Heinrich', however the 1850,1857 and 1834 census show him as the son of Konrad. Also we have no record of a Heinrich Kukkus of an appropriate age to be his father.

Johann married Katharina Elisabeth Isheim. Katharina (daughter of Konrad Isheim and Maria Magdelena Baum) was born in 1832 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia; died on 13 Mar 1895 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Katharina Elisabeth Isheim was born in 1832 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia (daughter of Konrad Isheim and Maria Magdelena Baum); died on 13 Mar 1895 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia.

Residence: 1834, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH48
Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH62
Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH71

Notes:

The Katherine Elisabeth Isheim born 1832 on the 1834 Kukkus Census almost certainly has to be the same person as the Katherine Elisabeth Isheim born 1832 on the 1857 Census married to Johann Heinrich Kukkus. Isheim is not a common name in the Volga colonies. In fact there are no Isheims other than the Kukkus Isheims found on the original first settler lists or found in any of the 1798 census lists for the colonies.
