For 1798 see Mai1798:Nr34, 79 and 5. Revisions since the previous upload were inspired by the work of Karen Drier Esayian. Giebenhausen-bei-Retzau, [Anhalt-Dessau Principality]: said by the Urbach FSL to be homeUC to frau Kermigk. This was a mistake for Siebenhausen.

Gieg1RN: Ella Gieg, Neue Erkenntnisse zur Auswanderung nach Russland 1766, Rimhorn, Germany, [2007-08?], a holding of the AHSGR library. My authorized, annotated translation is published in the AHSGR Journal vol.35, no.1 for spring 2012, pp.2-15. GielFN: this family name was found recorded in Kirburg marriage records 1762-1767; see Flegel trip. Giemer?FN: listed by the Boaro FSL as an orphan girl in the Toepfer household. I could not find her in the 1798 Volga censuses. Giengen (aka Giegen-an-der-Brenz? which is 31 km ENE of Ulm city centre. GiengerFN: see Ginger. GierkeFN: see Jerge. GierlachFN: see Gerlach. Giermann{J.Heinrich}: KS130 says he leftUC Ranstadt near Buedingen (now in Hesse). I did not find him in any published FSL or in Mai1798. GiesFN: said by the Stahl-am-Tarlyk FSL to be fromUC Bergedorf, Hamburg [Imperial City]. I could not find members of this family in Mai1798. Gies{Balthasar}: fromUC Burghaun married on 10 June 1766 Rauber{Catharina} fromUC Crainfeld (Mai&Marquardt#687). KS130 says Crainfeld was near Lauterbach. The Walter FSL #51 says he was fromUC Burghaun, Fulda [Bishopric]. He evidently died prior to the 1789 census.

Not found in any later source. GiessenGL: said by the Paulskaya FSL to be homeUC to a Felsing family. Surely is the same place as the following entries.

Giessen(?)GL, Darmstadt: said by the Krasnoyar FSL to be homeUC to Felbusch and Hoffmann families. Surely the same place as the previous entry. GiessenGL, Isenburg: said by the Kraft FSL to be homeUC to a Bertram family. Giessen belonged to Hessen-Darmstadt in the 1760’s; the Isenburg in this FSL surely is a mistake. Giest?FN: said by the Paulskaya FSL to be fromUC Auerbach and to have a Braun orphan in the household. I could not find the Giest family in the 1798 Volga censuses. Giest{Johannes, Balthur, Maria, Katharina, A.Maria}: KS130 says they leftUC Hessen in 1766. I did not find them in any published FSL.

Gill/Hiller{Maria}: from Breitensee married Kirchener{Johann} in Buedingen 1 May 1766 (Mai&Marquardt#609). KS138 has Hiller{Maria}, confuses her groom’s origin with hers., and says Breitensee is near Bad Neustadt on the Saale. Gill FN: some Hill family members in Russia use this spelling. Gille: see Gill. Gillen{Johannes}: fromUC Albenhausen, Riedesel Barony married Gricker{Catharina E.} 9 April 1766 in Friedberg (Mai&Marquardt#308). Not found in any other source. Gillendorf: aka Gellendorf.

The Recruiter Beauregard list (Lk133) said he was fromUC Schuesselfeld? and went to Wittmann in 1768, so they probably were Wittmann first settlers.
