• Reference Number: 1437
• Birth: 1841

Notes:

We do not have proof that the Katharina Elisabeth Reifschneider who married Johann Heinrich Felsing in Kukkus is the same Katharina Elisabeth Reifschneider who appears on the 1857 Kukkus census as age 15. However, we believe it is highly likely that she is the same person.

Johannes married Maria Elisabeth Kisselman. Maria (daughter of Johann Martin Kisselman and Anna Barbara Maser) was born in 1814. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Name: Elisabeth Kieselmann
• Name: Elisabeth Kisselmann
• Name: Elisabeth Unknown
• Name: Maria Elisabeth Kiselmann
• Reference Number: 1435
• Residence: 1834, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH19
• Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH32
• Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH39

Notes:

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

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

2) 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.

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

4) 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.

• Residence: 1834, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH82
• Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH117

Notes:

It is uncertain if Johann Friedrich remarried after his first spouse died, or if there was only one spouse.

Johann Friedrich's child Georg Friedrich b. 1838 shows Christina Seib as mother on the St John's church death records in Lincoln, Nebraska. As the 1834 census shows Maria Katharina Unknown and 2 earlier children had Christina in their names, it seems a possibility that Maria Katharina Unknown may in all actuality be Maria Christina Seib. The confusion over the mothers name could be caused by a transcription or translating error on the 1834 census??? Pleve on his Reifschneider surname chart for Kukkus shows Maria Katharina as the mother also. He does not show two spouses or a deceased spouse.

If these two names represent two separate females, then Christina would have died after 8 Mar 1838, Georg Friedrich's birth date, and then Johann Friedrich remarried after that.

Johann married Christina Seib. Christina was born in 1801. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Name: Georg Felsing
• Name: Johann Georg Falsinger
• Name: Johann Georg Feleing
• Reference Number: 1408

Notes:

Johannes Felsing was the deceased husband of the deceased first wife of Johann Peter Debus according to the note on the entry for his son Johann Georg (who was living in the household of Johann Peter Debus) in the 1798 census. Johann Peter Debus had a son with his second wife in 1791, which implies that his first wife died before 1791. His first wife only married Johann Peter after her first husband Johannes had died, therefore Johannes had to die before 1791, most likely a few years before. As his son was born 1784, his death date had to be between 1784 and 1791.

Johann married Maria Charlotte Heizenraeder before 1811 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia. Maria (daughter of Johann Thomas Heizenraeder and Anna Margareta Becker) was born in 1790. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Residence: 1834, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH19
• Residence: 1850, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH32

Notes:

The 1783 birth year on the 1834 census and the surname chart appears to be in error. Her mother would have been 13 when she was born! The age on the 1798 census and the 1850 census is more like it. Perhaps the 1834 entyry was a transcription error and that was then picked up in the surname chart.

Notes:

Married:
age of 1st child and living in Heitzenrader houshold in 1811.

According to Dr. Pleve's letter of 15.09.1997, Johannes Reifschneider, was orphaned during his way
from Oranienbaum (near St. Petersberg) to the Volga region. He was adopted by the family of
Johann Heinrich Weber, who settled in the Norka colony. Johannes married Maragaretha Schweitzer
of Kukkus, and moved to Kukkus. Pleve states that Margaretha's parents were Johann Friedrich
Schweitzer and Catharina. The above letter was provided with Dr. Pleve's Kukkus Reifschneider

AHSGR 1775 Norka census.---Per Frank Schlegel
