MARIENFELD
(Volga)

There
isn’t
too
much
information
on
this
village.
Russian
researchers
have
told
me
that
there
are
no
church
records
for
Marienfeld
at
this
time.
The
only
information
I
have
received
is
a
few
group
sheets
from
AHSGR
and
some
village
names.
Hopefully
in
the
future,
records
will
be
found,
and
I
can
share
them
with
the
descendants
from
Marienfeld.

I
am
responding
to
your
request
for
information
on
my
activities
concerning
the
village
of
Mariental,
during
the
past
year.
After
spending
the
winter
in
Arizona,
not
doing
much
of
anything,
except
search
for
a
computer
to
access,
I
had
to
put
everything
on
hold
till
I
arrived
back
home
in
April.
Since
that
time,
I
have
been
in
touch
with
Russian
researchers
to
order
a
chart
on
my
Mariental
relatives,
the
Kinderknecht's.
I
am
still
waiting
on
that
information.
Also,
I
have
been
gathering
information
to
publish
a
web
page.
I
am
having
a
problem
publishing
it,
and
have
been
working
for
several
months
on
what
the
problem
could
be.
I
have
most
all
of
the
information
ready,
and
will
inform
the
electronic
mailing
lists
of
my
web
site,
when
I
have
figured
things
out.
I
also
have
been
in
touch
will
several
people
in
Germany,
trying
to
get
information
on
their
relatives
who
made
the
move
out
of
Russia
back
to
Germany.
One
"cousin"
will
write
her
life
story
for
me,
which
I
will
publish
on
the
web
page,
if
and
when
I
can.
I
plan
on
coming
to
Lincoln,
Nebraska,
next
year
for
the
convention.
I
purchased
a
brick
at
the
Wichita
Convention,
and
I
am
anxious
to
see
it
in
place
on
the
statue
at
Lincoln.
I
also
have
purchased
a
calendar,
and
hope
to
receive
one
this
year
for
the
year
2000.
That
would
be
a
great
keepsake.
I
realize
that
I
haven't
been
of
much
help
for
requests
for
information
on
their
ancestors
from
Mariental,
but
I
am
just
now
getting
new
information
on
some
of
the
families.
Hopefully
this
will
grow.
(I
need
more
time,
don't
know
how
I
ever
worked
outside
of
the
home,
and
got
anything
done
on
the
computer.)

Limited
information
on
Moor
families
has
been
coming
in
with
the
Balzer
data.
Many
Balzer
researchers
also
have
Moor
ancestry.
There
is
not
sufficient
information
at
this
time
to
publish
a
separate
Moor
newsletter,
so
new
information
is
posted
in
the
Balzer
newsletter.
All
Moor
researchers,
please
contact
Wayne
Bonner.
Maybe
we
can
get
something
going.
As
with
the
Balzer
group,
All
Moor
researchers
are
invited
to
the
CDC
summer
meeting
next
May
in
Los
Angeles.
An
informal
meeting
will
be
conducted
to
discuss
the
goals
and
interests
of
Moor
researchers.
NEU-STRAUB

I
have
received
the
1857
census
of
the
Keil
and
Heintz
name
of
Neu-Straub.
Of
the
eight
Keil
names
on
this
census,
two
different
persons
have
found
their
great
grandparents
names
plus
other
information
about
the
family.
There
are
ten
Heintz
names.
Within
in
next
few
months,
I
hope
to
get
the
31
names
on
the
1834
census
and
it
is
supposed
to
have
‘from
whence
from
Germany
the
family
on
Volga
has
arrived'.
When
I
get
that,
I
will
put
it
on
Patrice's
website.

I
joined
AHSGR
in
August
1999.
I
volunteered
and
was
accepted
by
AHSGR
for
the
vacated
position
of
Oberdorf
Village
Coordinator.
Subsequently,
I
have
set
out
on
a
path
to
collect
and
catalogue
available
data
for
the
village.
To
date
I
have
performed
the
following:
