In 1790 his widow {Regina} moved from Kamenka to marry Zabrarovski, a retired soldier (Mai1798: Mv1100).

By 1 March 1767 this couple with 3 children had settled at Kamenka FSL #59 which reported much the same but had them with 2 sons, 1 daughter, fromUC Miltenberg. In 1798 Rochel{Peter and Johann} were still in Kamenka but at #97: both young enough to be the orphaned grandsons of first settler {Peter}. Kukler/Rockel{??}: the Balzer FSL #59 & 59a lists three of these Kukler children, one as wife of Kleinfelder{Heinrich} and two as her siblings. In 1798, one of those siblings is listed at Balzer #27 as Rockel{Johannes} with 5 living children, 4 of them male. Also in 1798 2 more siblings are listed in Kolb at #17 as Rockel{A.Elisabeth} wife of May{J.Adam} and as Rockel{J.Georg} listed in Kolb #40 with 3 surviving sons. RockemerFN: this family name was found recorded in Schotten parish records for many generations prior to 1767; see Flegel trip. Rockenhausen: the town is 13 miles ENE of Kaiserslautern city centre. This probably is the same place as the next entry RockenhausenGL, Kirchheim-Bolanden [Amt], Pfalz: is some 8.5 miles WSW of Kirchheim-Bolanden city, and was proven by GCRA to be home to the Opp family that went to Glueckstal. See the GCRA book for more details. RockenschuhFN: said by the Hildmann FSL to be fromUC Bamberg [Bishopric]. RockowshewFN: see Rakuszewski. Rod: go to Schotten.

The Buedingen ML said this was homeUC to Franck{Johann} who married Zerich{Gertrud} (Mai&Marquardt#463). KS128 spelled this Rothenbach. KS152 mistakenly took that as Herr Franck’s family name. Rodenbach, Herrschaft Gersfeld: is 2 km SW of Gersfeld town. RodenbachGL, Kurmainz: said by the Goebel FSL to be homeUC to a Kortz family.

RodenbergenGL, [Isenburg-Meerholz County]: said by the Buedingen ML to be homeUC to the Gambach man who in 1766 married a Steinbach woman (Mai&Marquardt#502). By 1767 this couple was in Moor.

RohlederVV: aka Raskatka, Raskaty, Roskaty, and Rolleder, was a German Catholic village on the eastern side of the Volga founded in 1766. Betty Hoffman shared with us the FSL that was published by Anthony J. Leiker (Pavel M. Leus, trans.) in 2002; several geographical identifications added by the editor and others in this edition are iffy since it was not then known that many place names in the FSL were countries, not localities.

RosenortBV, Halbstad District, Molotschna: a German Mennonite village established in 1805 (see KS:97). Hildegard Wasnick village coordinator has begun to assemble information on the origins of settlers of this village and others, and to make that information available to this index. So far her FSL source is mainly the Unruh book, but for almost every family listed here, she has assembled additional information from the records of the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society (MMHS). The numbers in parentheses are the household numbers in the village FSL as given in Unruh: from Damfeld, Marienburg Amt: (Borm{Peter}16); from Elbing: (Zacharias13); from Ellerwald, Elbing Amt: (Jantzen9, Rempel7); from Heubuhden, Marienburg Amt: (Ensz/Enz{Isaac}14); from Lackendorff, Danzig Amt: (Tiessen/Thiessen {Peter}12); from Laescky/Leske, Marienburg Amt: (Tiessen/Thiessen{Franz}4); from Mielentz/Mielenz, Marienburg Amt: (Wiebe{Duerck}20, {Heinrich3}); from Neusteterwald, Elbing: (Siemens15, and possibly Emsen15); from Petershagen, Tiegenhoff Amt: (Bochmann10); from Sandhof, Marienburg Amt: (Klaassen18, and possibly Neufelt18); from Schoenau, Marienburg Amt: (Dueck2); from Stadtfeld/Stadtfelde, Marienburg Amt: (Baerg19); from Uchnitz/Usnitz, Stuhm Amt: (Borm{Peter}1). RosenquistFN: said by the Enders FSL to be fromUC Krestwin?, Schweden; it also says he married a woman [probably Russian?] from Saratov, but does not give her family name. I cannot find this family in the 1798 Volga censuses. RosenquistFN: frau Rosenquist was said by the Enders FSL to be fromUC Saratov. RosenthalFN: said by the Kukkus FSL to be fromUC Selzen, Kurpfalz. Roshta(?)GL, Kurpfalz: an unidentified place said by the Volmer FSL to be home to a Armbruster family. RosinFN: listed by the 1858 Kassel census (#228) without origin, but KS:410 said they were fromUC Fellbach, Waiblingen [Amt], Wuerttemberg. The GCRA believes it is doubtful they were fromUC Fellbach. Rosinbrin?GL: an unidentified place said by the Kano FSL to be homeUC to an Untermann family. There was a Rosenborn in what is now Poland. RosinskiFN: said by the Schwed FSL to be fromUC Breslow?, Schweden, with a Feldening step-son in the household. I could not idenify them or any likely descendants in Mai1798. RosinskiFN: the wife, the former widow Feldening[?], was said by the Schwed FSL to be fromUC Koenigsberg, Preussen. She probably had died prior to the 1798 Volga censuses. RoskatyVV: one version of the Russian name for RohlederVV. Roskopf/Grosskopf?FN: said by the Volmer FSL to be fromUC Wittlich, Trier. Still spelled Roskopf in 1798. RosmannFN: see Russmann.

Ross/RohsFN{Martin}: on 10 Aug 1766 Rohs, wife {Catharina} and son arrived in Russia he said to be from Isenburg (Kulberg4844). Not found in T. By 18 Aug 1767 Ross, 2nd wife {Anna} and son had settled at Norka FSL #27, he said to be fromUC Isenburg (no locality mentioned). For 1793 and 1798 see Mai1798:Mv1993, Nr139, 110, 194 and Hk71. Ros{Gertraud/Gertrauth}: a widow from Schwickertshausen married the widow Will{Peter} in Buedingen 3 May 1766 (Mai&Marquardt#611). KS164 has {Gertraud} and says Schwickertshausen was near Buedingen. By 12 Sept 1767 {J.Peter} and wife had settled at Schwab FSL #32. I could not find members of this family in Mai798. Ross{Magdalena}: she was in the 1798 Zug census (Zg32), but was not found in any FSL under this family name, but then this may have been a married name in which case there would be no way to find her in an FSL. RossFN: see also Rose and Russ. Rossach, Heilbronn [Imperial City][sic?]: said by the Straub FSL to be homeUC to a Nies family. Rossach is 30 km NE of Heilbronn city and as far as can be told was not on lands owned or controlled by the Imperial City; instead it seems to have been on the lands of Schoental Imperial Abby. RossbachFN said by the Belowescher Kolonien FSL to be fromUC Hessen (no locality mentioned). Rossbach: KS151 says he was from Hersfeld near Bad. No further information. RossbachFN: see also Reibich and Roszbach. RossbachGL: is a village some 11 miles NW of Giessen. Sometimes spelled Rosbach. Rossbach: also see Roszbach.

RossdorfGL, [Hessen-Darmstadt Landgraviate] is 12 km NW of Faenkisch-Crumbach and 7 km E of Darmstadt city. Brent Mai proved this the home of Witzler{A.Maria} who here married Friedrich{J.Adam} and where their several children were born before they moved on to settle in Laub FSL (#14). It was also proven home to the Amann family that left Fraenkisch- Crumbach in 1766 for Russia; they settled in Neu-Saratowka (Gieg1). RossdorfGL: also see Rosdorf.

Rossmann{Ursula}; evidently the 2nd wife of Hecht{J.Joseph} who was a Mariental first settler (mt3). Around 1797 she married a Schuck and is listed in the 1798 Zug census (Zg22) as his widow. She does not seem to be in the Mariental FSL, so thus far no hint of her origin or prior colony has turned up. RossnerFN: said by the Hoelzel FSL fromUC Steinsheim, Bamberg [Bishopric] with with a Rassler stepson in the household. I could not find either family in the 1798 Volga censuses.

By 20 June 1767 this couple with an infant daughter had settled at Dobrinka FSL#72, he said to be fromUC Retes(?), Braunfels. Later spelled Riel with a Gruen wife (Mai1798: Mv444, Ml08, Db7); in 1798 spelled Reil (Db43). Ruhl/RuheFN{J.Conrad}: married Jungmann{M.Elisabeth}in Luebeck 29 July 1766, both fromUC [Hessen-]Darmstadt [Landgraviate] (Mai&Marquardt#271). On 13 Sept 1766 they arrived in Russia, he said to be from Darmstadt (Kulberg6226). Later in 1766 as Ruhe{Condradt & Sept 1767 Ruhl{J.Konrad & A.Elisabeth} with three Befus step-childern had settled at Jagodnaja Poljana FSL #52, he said to be fromUC Nidda and according to the Kromm version of that FSL they were fromUC Ober Lais near Nidda (p.135). RuhlFN{Lorenz/Lorentz}: arrived in Russia 13 Sept 1766 with wife {M.Barbara} and an infant daughter, he said to be from Fulda (Kulberg5743). KS152 says with wife, 1 child and {Philipp} an unmarried weaver {Lorenz}was from Herbstein near Lauterbach. Later in 1766 {Lorentz} and wife unaccompanied by a child in Oranienbaum took transport for the Volga on which trip the wife died (T719-720). By 21 Aug 1767 {Lorenz} with new wife {Katharina} had settled at Koehler FSL #33, said to be fromUC Herbstein, Fulda. In 1798 this couple still were in Koehler, the wife’s maiden family name given as Schmidt (Mai1798:Kl68). Jim Pickelhaupt says he found his origin. RuhlFN{Philipp}: KS152 says upon leaving Herbstein he was single and in {Lorenz}’ household. He arrived in Russia 13 Sept 1766 with wife {M.Sabina}, he said to be from Fulda (Kulberg5700). Later in 1766 he and wife {A.Sobina} in Oranienbaum took transport for the Volga during which trip the wife died (T728-729). By 21 Aug 1767 as a widower he had settled at Koehler FSL #34 said to be fromUC Herbstein, Fulda. Jim Pickelhaupt says he has found his origin. RuhlFN{Zacharius}: Catholic said by the Koehler FSL #30 to be fromUC Herbstein, Fulda. Jim Pickelhaupt has he found his origin. The FSL gave the maiden name of his wife as Schneider{Elisabeth} (no origin given). Riel/Ruhl{Andreas}: fromUC the area of Werda married Schmidt{A.Maria} in Buedingen 14 May 1766 (Mai&Marquardt#646). Mai&Marquardt seem to suggest that this marriage entry #646 may have been a mistake, corrected by Mai&Marquardt#648: Ruhl{J.Andreas} married Lotz{A.Maria} in Buedingen 14 May 1766 (Mai&Marquardt#648). Since there are separate entries for arrival in Russia: On 29 Aug 1766 with wife {Anna}, Riel [Ruhl]{Andreas} a smith arrived in Russia, he said to be from Darmstadt (Kulberg3622) and on 29 Aug 1766 with wife {Anna}, Ruhl{Andreas} a farmer arrived in Russia, he said to be from Darmstadt (Kulberg3644). One of these two must be the man who by 18 Aug 1767 with his wife {A.Maria} and her younger sister and brother had settled at Kraft FSL #10, he said to be from Alsfeld. In 1789 this man’s daughter {M.Anna} moved from Kraft to Stephan to marry Fritzler{Bernard} (Mai1798:Mv1369, Sp20). Early in 1798 his daughter {Elisabeth} moved from Kraft to marry Waag{J.Georg} in Grimm (Mai1798:Mv1385 & Gm33). In the 1798 census Ruhl and his 1st wife have died, his 2nd wife Engelhard{Katharina} has remarried Bertram{J.Konrad}, and a son of his 1st wife is working in Stephan (Mai1798:Kf53). RuhlFN{J.Andreas}: married Lotz{A.Maria} in Buedingen 14 May 1766 both from Langenschwartz (Mai&Marquardt#648). Mai&Marquardt seem to suggest that this marriage entry may have been a mistake, corrected by Kulberg3622. I tend to think the man in 648 was not the man in 646 since they have two separate entries for arrival in Russia: On 29 Aug 1766 with wife {Anna} he arrived in Russia, he said to be from Darmstadt (Kulberg3644). This may be the man who by 18 Aug 1767 with his wife and her younger sister and brother had settled at Kraft FSL #10, he said to be from Alsfeld. RuhlFN: in the Kutter FSL a Ruhl orphan was living with a Brehning household from Hanau – the orphan may have been fromUC Hanau as well. Ruhl/ReilFN{J.Georg}: said by the Stephan FSL #21 to be fromUC Helpershain, [Hessen-Darmstadt Landgraviate]. Spelled Riel in 1797 and 1798 (Mai1798:Mv2851 and Gm8). Spelled Ruhl in 1767 (T410). Ruehl{Eliesabetha}: from Villingen married Boecher{Jost Conrad} in Buedingen 27 May 1766 (Mai&Marquardt#669). KS152 says Villingen is near Giessen. Becker{Just & Elisabeth} arrived in Russia, no origin given, on 15 Sept 1766 (Kulberg7042), while Becker{Conrad & A.Elisabeth} arrived in Russia on a different ship but also on 15 Sept 1766, he said to be from Darmstadt (Kulberg6105); one of those couples may have been this couple. Not found in T. By 10 Sept 1767 said to be from Lautern(?), Darmstadt, Becher was listed as a single orphan living in the household of his Stang uncle {Philipp}at Walter FSL #90a. In 1798 he was still in Walter having married {Katharina} the widow of Geist{Gottlieb} with 3 Becker sons and 1 married Geist son in the household (Mai1798:Wt62). Ruehl{Dietrich}: KS138 & 152 say he left Wettsaasen near Gruenberg with 2 Keil stepsons: {J.Georg & J.Eckart}. No further information. Ruhl{J.Georg}: KS152 says he was from Oberlais near Buedingen heading for Jag.Poljana with wife {A.Elis.} and 1 son. I found no further information about them.

Ruhl{Marg.}: KS152 says she was from Eichelsdorf near Nidda, the daughter of Goetz{Elisabeth} and her 1st husband. No further information. RuhlmannFN: this family name was found recorded in Kirburg marriage records 1762-1767; see Flegel trip.

RuisseveenGL, Amsterdam, Holland: is some 35 miles SE of Amsterdam city, and said by the Katharinenstadt FSL to be homeUC to a Gorss family. Rukler?FN: said by the Balzer FSL to be the maiden name of frau Kleinfelder in1768. See Ruckel. RulsmannFN: this family name was found recorded in Herborn marriage records 1762-1767; see Flegel trip. RumbachFN: said by the Ober-Monjou FSL to be fromUC Gerstheim?. For 1798 see Mai1798:Om56. RumbachGL, [Pfalz-Zweibruecken Duchy]: is some 8 miles NW of Wissembourg city. RumbachGL, Pfalz[-Zweibruecken Duchy]:: said by the Boregard FSL to be homeUC to a Beier family. RumbachGL, Bergzabern [Amt], Rheinpfalz: was 9.5 miles W of Bad Bergzabern, and was proven by the GCRA as home to the Huntzinger/Hunsicker/Hunsecker family that went to Kassel. Also the GCRA proved the Mettler{J.Jakob} family lived here for decades before settling in Kassel. The GCRA thinks Neuhart{Jakob} who settled in Kassel may have been related to the Neuharts of this place. This is the same place as the preceding 2 entries, but 40 years later. RumbelFN: see Rammel. RumbinGL: aka Rubin. RumetzFN: see Raschez. RumpFN: said by the Kamenka FSL to be fromUC Wuerzburg. Rumpel{Andreas}: KS:82 & 152 says this Catholic man fromUC Spitzberg in 1764 was sent on to the Saratov area as part of the group of colonists transported under the command of Captain Paykul and Cornet Rehbinder. I have not found them in any published FSL. RumpeltFN: see Roppelt. Rumrod: see Romrod. RumschFN: said by the Susannental FSL to be fromUC Bernsdorf. Possibly spelled Ramshin? in 1798 (Mai1798:Ss3)?? Rumstadt?GL: an unidentified place said by the Boregard FSL to be homeUC to a Lieber family. Said by the Koehler FSL to be homeUC to a Rueckert family, and possibly to a Tropp family. Might this be Ramstadt? RunauFN: KS152 says he was from Bibelsheim near Alzey. Runau(?)GL: an unidentified place said by the Belowescher Kolonien FSL to be homeUC to a Weiwer/Wekwer/Weiler family. Rundau{Johann}FN: said by the Seelmann FSL to be fromUC Znaim, [Moravia Margraviate]. I did not locate him or any descendants in Mai1798. For 1767 see T849-50. Rundau{Lorenz} FN: said by the Seelmann FSL to be fromUC Giterwike?, Birk. For 1798 see Mai1798:Sm24 and 29. For 1767 see T851-52. Rundwiese: see Belowescher Kolonien. RunkFN: settled, no date given, in Gueldendorf, Odessa; family records found by Curt Renz in Erlenbach, Germersheim parish, Baden. RunkelGL/GS: aka Wied-Runkel County. The town is some 25 miles E of Koblenz city, some 29 miles NW of Frankfurt-am-Main, and was the seat of Wied-Runkel County, which county usually was simply referred to as Runkel. So Runkel more often than not was the country, not the town. Said by the Balzer FSL to be homeUC to a Spaeth/Spaedt family. Said by the Warenburg FSL to be homeUC to a Diener family. RunkelGL, Kurpfalz: said by the Dietel FSL to be homeUC to a Bangel family. It is not clear that there was such a place in Kurpfalz, so Kurpfalz here is probably a mistake and this was the same place as the previous entry. RunkelGL, Wuerttemberg: said by the Doenhof FSL to be homeUC to Funk and possibly Mueller families. I am 95% convinced there was no Runkel, Wuerttemberg so either the Runkel or the Wuerttemberg must be a mistake. If Wuerttemberg was the mistake, then this is the same place as the two previous entries. RunzenGL: an unidentified place said by the Mariental FSL to be homeUC to a Wantemut? family. There is a Renzen some 14 miles E of Heilbronn. RuoffFN: see Ruf. Rupen/RiebenGL, Brandenburg: an unidentified place said by the Kratzke FSL to be homeUC to a Westfal family.
