• 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. Sources - 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. 7 KIESELMANN Matthias * 1732 oo HUBER Maria Elisabeth * um 1732 7 Kieselbronn - Friedrichsfeld - Balzer 1767 First Settlers List for Balzer Matthias Kiselmann, 36, luth, farmer from Wittenberg Wife: Elisabeth, 36 Children: Johann Philipp 12, Matthias 6
