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.

- Lang, Gerhard. German Colonists of Denmark on the Volga.

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.

Age 26, ref, farmer from Loehnfeld?, Kurpfalz
Wife: Eva 25
Son: Konrad 1

It would appear that Konrad was born after arriving in Russia

Stumpp has Gottfried Maser from Ortzberg(Ortenberg)/Stockheim/Buedingen

From the AHSGR website: Maser: said by the Kukkus FSL to be from Loehnfeld(?), Kurpfalz. Eleanor Sissell (2010) has proven the place is Lengfeld, which in modern times is in Hessen. She has the Maser family, prior to their coming to Lengfeld in church records of Switzerland. The children born in Kurpfalz were spelled Maaser while the FSL spells it Maser.

Also from the AHSGR website:Loehnfeld(?), Kurpfalz: Alton Sissell (2005) using an LDS film and a visit to the village, proved this is Lengfeld. It is said by the Kukkus FSL to be home to Hoefner, Maser, Schaefer, and maybe Houg? families. Alton Sissell (2005) in the same fashion as the earlier sentence proved this to be the place which the Maser/Maaser family left to go to Russia.
