Ua-Uzz last updated 5 june 2015 UberFN: see Ubre. UbertFN: see Ubre. UbreFN: said by the Katharinenstadt FSL to be fromUC Dommartin, Picardie, Frankreich with a Krefeld wife fromUC Kirchhalt. Pleve thought this might be spelled Uber. Gary Ubert says it is Ubert! Gary's and his brothers's DNA tests show that the family Y-Chromosome DNA belongs to the quite rare K2 Haplogroup. In France and in Moersch, Baden-Baden, perhaps as early as 1655, the name was spelled Houbre. The 1777 Katharinenstadt census says that a son had been born about 1761 in Niederburg Meyitz. One of the Dommartin Houbre men married a Poullet woman Ubrig{A.Eliesabetha}: married Ruepple{J.Jacob} in Buedingen 12 April 1766 (Mai&Marquardt#527 & KS152). On 8 Aug 1766 this Ruppel couple arrived in Russia, he said to be from Darmstadt (Kulberg4140). Not found in T. By 16 Aug 1767 this couple had settled at Mueller FSL #6, he said to be from Schwartz-bei-Alsfeld, Darmstadt. Ubrig{Joh.}: KS161 says he was from Rainrod near Alsafeld. No further information.

In April 1763 Uhl married the widow Utz(p.629). Her name was {Christina Barbara} (p.627). Later that year they deserted Denmark (EEE pp. 627 & 629). By April 1765 they were settled at Dobrinka FSL #52 under the name of Utz{Joseph & Christina}; that FSL said he was from Schneimet(?), Schwaben. Uhl{Joseph}: KS:82 and 161 say this party of 3 fromUC Winterberg (which Stumpp noted was in Westfalen) 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.

Russia with Duc de Richelieu. ...” Ulm(?)GL, [Solms-]Braunfels [Principality] is some 6 miles NW of Braunfels city, and said by the Kukkus FSL to be homeUC to a Weber family. Ulm near Wetzlar: Christ{Peter} was said by KS124 to have left fromUC here. This must have been the same place as in the preceding entry. I could not find him in any published FSL or in Mai1798.

I do not see any way to identify which is which in the FSL although most references are probably to the lands of the Imperial City. None of the following references mention any locality.
