FreiFN{Georg}: said by the 1816 Glueckstal census (KS:670, 677, 267) to be fromUC Donnbronn, Besigheim [Amt], Wuerttemberg. However, using FHL(1,860,467), the GCRA proved this a false origin.

Friess{Zacharias}: KS129 says he was fromUC Gross-Felda near Alsfeld now in Hesse. On 15 Sept 1766 {Zacharius & A.Maria} with 3 children arrived in Russia, he said to be from Darmstadt (Kulberg6382). With 3 children they took transport in Oranienbaum for the Volga, on which trip another child was born (T3148-3152). I did not find him in any published FSL or in Mai1798. FriesFL: Alejandro Mueller of Argentina has found many variations, including: Friese, Frisz, Fris, and Freis. He believes it originally was Friess (German) or Vries (Dutch/Flemish) and that the family originally came from Friesland in what is today Holland. Nicknames indicating this origin he says are Friso, Friese, or Frison. FrieseFN: see Fries. FriesenFL: said by the Orloff FSL to be fromUC Kalteherberg, Danzig.

Fritsch{Christina}: Kuernbach parish records prove she married Dederer{Engelhard} in May 1762 in Kuernbach where she was born in 21 May 1735 (EEE p.377, see that for more detail). Fritsch{Friederich}: the date of his arrival in Denmark has not been found; but according to Danish records Maassen/Masasse{M.Catharina} was his mother-in-law and in June 1764 he was living at #8 in Colony T5 “Friderichshoefe”, Tondern Amt. In January 1765 he last reregistered in Denmark. Later he immigrated to Russia being recorded in the parish register of Neu- Saratowka colony near St. Petersburg (EEE p. 407-408, and 509; for more see those). FritschFN: listed by the 1816 Kassel census (#107) without origin and said by KS:270 to be fromUC Nordrach, Offenburg [Amt], Baden. The records may be in FHL#905,053. See the GCRA book for more.

FritzFN: this widow was in Rosenheim in 1798 (Mai1798:Mv2484) and may have been in Paulskaya later that year (Pl30??). I have found no hint of her maiden name nor where she was before 1798. If the designation “widow” was incorrect, she could have been the young daughter of the preceding entry. Fritz{Conrad/J.Conrad}: married Krafft{Elisabeth} 29 May 1766 in Luebeck (Mai&Marquardt#203). Not found in Kulberg. Later in 1766 with no children they arrived in Russia (T4092-4093). Not found in any later source.

Dona Reeves-Marquardt has verified, using local German records, that this family came from Kleingartach, Oberamt, Wuerttemberg, where Fritzler{J.Jacob} married Eurich{Franziska Catharina} prior to going to the Volga. Dona used the Application of Jacob Fritzler to leave Wuertttemberg with several adults and several children to go to Jutland/Denmark dated 9 Apr 1761. They may or may not have gone there. For much more detail go to http://cvgs.cu-portland.edu/origins/f/fritzler.cfm. For 1798 see Mai1798: Dh67, Gm175, 88, 18, 89, 55, 34, 153, Ho19, Ms6, Mv2840, Sp13 and 20.

I could not find this family in the 1798 Volga censuses. Froed{A.Catharina}: see Froedin. Froede{A.Catharina}: see Froedin. Froedin{A.Catharina}: She married Bauer{Adam} on 29 June 1766 in Rosslau (Mai&Marquardt#1037). KS10 gives her family name as Froed, while KS129 has Froede and says the year was 1765. For 1798 see Mai1798:Lz15. FroelichFN {J.Adam}: Fraenkisch-Crumbach parish records say he left Kirch-Beerfurth, Erbach now in Hesse with wife and 2 children; later a Fraenkisch-Crumbach pastor received a note from Russia saying they had arrived there safely (Mai&Marquardt:1280d). The Frank FSL (fk92) lists Freiling{J.Georg} fromUC Eberbach, Erbach [County]. Despite the difference in first names, it would seem that this was really Froelich{J.Adam} whom Gieg1 proved was from Kirch-Beerfurth, [Erbach County]. In 1762 he married Hofferbaer/Hoferbert{A.Barbara} born in Hoechst in 1730. For 1798 see Mai1798:Fk125. Froehlich FN: the 1816 Kassel census (#12) said this family came fromUC Trierschen, and KS:271 said they came fromUC Franzoesischen Trierschen. However, using FHL#1,056,955, the GCRA proved their origin in Winnenden, Waiblingen [Amt], Wuerttemberg; the GCRA also found records indicating that the family had come to Kassel via Neu-Wuerttemberg, Tkaczew Amt, South Prussia. Froemmig/Roemmig{Juliana}: married Seyring{J.Christoph} 30 April 1766 in Rosslau (Mai&Marquardt#957). KS134 has his family name as Heuring. KS158 spells her name Roemmig.

Fruehe{J.Werner}: married Blettner{Dorothea Margarethe} in Luebeck on 14 May 1766 ( KS129 and Mai&Marquardt#154) KS129 said, evidently mistakenly, the year was 1765. Not found in Kulberg, T or in any published FSL or in Mai1798. FruehlingFN{Johannes}: married Graef{A.Margaretha} 19 March 1766 in Buedingen (Mai&Marquardt#448). They were at #57 in the 1775 Beideck census and likely were among the first settlers there. For 1798 see Mai1798:Bd7. According to Linda Freehling, the Fruhling family chart says this family came to Beideck fromUC Darmstadt [most likely this is the country of Hesse-Darmstadt Landgraviate]. FruehwaldFN: said by the Schwed FSL to be fromUC Berlin, Preussen. I could not find them or likely descendants in Mai1798. FruhlingFN: see Fruehling. Frumet?, Wertheim?: an unidentified place said by the Warenburg FSL to be homeUC to a Rothenberger family.

Fuchs/Vizum/Vixum{Angelina/Angela/Angelika/Engula}: born about 1743, She married Weiss{Benedict}}in Rosslau 1 June 1766 (Mai&Marquardt#998). On 15 Sept 1766 {Benedict & Angelina} with no child arrived in Russia, said to be from Trier (Kulberg#6779). KS:161 & 163 both mistakenly give the year as 1765; both have Vizum. T3540-3541 has {Benedictus & Angela} leaving Oranienbaum later in 1766 heading for the Volga. By 11 Sept 1767 this couple had settled at Hoelzel FSL #7, he said to be from Bernkastel, Trier. In 1798 although he was then schoolmaster in Seelmann her maiden name was then given as Fuchs{Angelika} (Mai1798:Hz7). In 1790 a daughter had moved to Seelmann where she still resided in 1798 (Mai1798:Mv0941, Sm11).

He was a godparent at the 24 June 1766 Buedingen baptism of the son of Fuchs{Georg & Friederque} (Mai&Marquardt#1212). With wife {A.Elisabeth} and 5 childrem he arrived in Russia 13 Sept 1766, said to be from the Pfalz (Kuhlberg6264) The parents soon died and their children settled in Yagodnaya Polyana FSL (#80). They were said by the Pleve version of the Jagodnaja Poljana FSL to be fromUC Messein(?), Pfalz, while the Kromm version (pp.32, 33) said they were fromUC either Weiler-an-der-Noh, or Oberlais, or Mesen, or ! For a bit more information and the birthdates of the offspring, go to http://cvgs.cu- portland.edu/origins/f/fuchs_yagodnaya.cfm. My guess is that they were closely related to the Fuchs{J.Georg} family in the preceding entry – ed. FuchsFN: said by the Jost FSL to be fromUC Hettstaedt?, Sachsen. FuchsFN: according to a Rosslau ML this woman (no origin given) married in 1766 a Toermer man; by 1767 the couple was in Jost; Stumpp also spelled her name Fucks (Mai&Marquardt#964). Fucks{M.Sophie}: on 8 May 1765 she married in Rosslau Toermer{J.Gottlieb} (Mai&Marquardt#964) and KS129 and 161).

The Kuhlberg list gives the state as Isenburg. FuchsFN: said by the 1816 Neudorf census (#45) to have come fromUC Hemmingen, Leonberg [Amt], Wuerttemberg. The GCRA seems to have ignored this family. FuchsFN: the Norka 1798 census gives this as the maiden name of Spadi’s wife (Mai1798:Nr8). FuchsFN: said by the Norka FSL to be fromUC Isenburg (no locality mentioned). The maiden name of the wife is later said to be Walter (Mai1798:Nr189). For other family members in 1793 and 1798 see Mai1798:Mv1988, Nr8, 215, Wt74, and Kk42.

They were possible Zug first settlers said by Recruiter Beauregard’s 1768 list (Lk145) to have been fromUC Kougend? and to have gone in1768 to Schoenchen; if they did do that they must have arrived there after that FSL was done; otherwise they may have gone directly to Zug where they were in 1798 (Zg:35) with no indication they came to Zug from any other colony, Fuchs{Valentin}: KS:82 and 129 say this party of 5 fromUC Mecklenburg 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 or in Mai1798.
