Page numbers given refer to pages in the AHSGR publication. A collection of archival documents, mostly dated in 1765, prepared in St. Petersburg by a variety of Russian officials. Fonnershain?[sic]: said by Recruiter Beauregard’s 1768 list (Lk146) to have been homeUC to Schmidt{Nicolaus} [a probable first settlers in Zuerich]. The translators of the Russian in this list were guessing as to the name of the locality, i.e. Fonnershain, Indeed, I could find no such place name; this might well have been Volkersheim.

Dona Reeves- Marquardt has found the Foos birth records in Heimkirchen, Rhineland-Palatinate, confirmed by Brent Mai. For 1790, 1795, and 1798 see :Mv396, Mv422, Dt4, 44, Hs26, Mr12. FoosFN: Using LDS Film 193884 containing the records of Heimkirchen for the first half of the 18th century when that place was under the jurisdiction of the country of Kurpfalz (now Rheinpfalz), Dona Reeves-Marquardt proved the origins of the Foos family of Dietel.
