If you don't see any buttons with family names on the left side of the screen click here. Home of the John Fredrick Gieswein Familyand the Jake Pinnecker Family Exactly where the Gieswein and Pinnecker families settled is a bit unclear. Family stories and records refer to both Gnadenfeld and Moor.
Some stories indicate that they are the same place just different names.
Moor was located 40 miles from Gnadenfeld on the opposite side of the Volga River. It appears that the family lived in both places. Piecing together tidbits of information based on chronological events I speculate that he Gieswein family first settled in Moor about 1869 while the Pinneckers settled in Gnadenfeld about 1875. I am guessing, that at some point in time the Giesweins moved to Gnadenfeld. Known to have remained in Moor or Gnadenfeld, Russia.
