• 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]

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.
