user: You are replying to Daniel Boese about "Russian Mennonite research?".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Daniel,
     I have the book Russian-German Settlements in the United States,
1974, Richard Sallet, translated by Lavern J. Rippley & Armand Bauer.
On p.141-143 is a list of about 200 villages for Krim (Crimea) and
Bruderfeld is not listed.  I looked in all the other lists and could
not find Bruderfeld.
     I looked in the Mennonite Encyclopedia and under villages and
also under Bruderfeld but not luck.  There was Bruderthaler or
Bruderthaler Gemeinde which was a name used by the present day
Evangelical Mennonite Brethren.  Canadian Churches in the EMB were at
least at Steinback, Man., and Langham, Sask.  The conference was
started in 1889.
     The Kleine Gemeinde started 1814 in the Molotschna Colony. and
after 1952 called the Evangelical Mennonite Church (Canada).  They
didn't particularly go to the Crimea.
     The Krimmer Mennonite Brethren Church started in 1869 in
Annafeld, near Simferopol, Crimea.  In Canada in Waldheim 1899, and
Langham 1901, Sask.  In 1960 it merged into the Mennonite Brethren
Chruch.
     Hepburn, Sask. (1908) is 26 miles N or Saskatoon.  The railroad
through Dalmeny, Menno, Hepburn, Waldheim, and Laird was built in
1908.  Hepburn MB Ch (org 1910) with most members coming from
Nebraska, was the only church in Hepburn in 1955.
     Have you found the ship's passenger list for Johan BOESE?  Did
he come to Canada or to the USA and then Canada?
     What church did he attend?  It might have some info.
     What towns were his children born in?
     Have you searched using the word Mennnonite on the World Wide
Web?  There is a 1835, I think, census for the Molotschna Colony that
might show him, if his parents lived in the Molotschna and later in
the Crimea.
     Where else did he live besides in Hepburn?
     Have you checked with the CMC Archives in Winnipeg?
     Good luck in your search.

Write your reply.

assistant: The State in which he was adopted will provide what is called "non-
identifying imformation."  Thhat data will include basic information
concerning her (education, health, state of mind, general circumstances)
and concerning her family.  From this one can usually decipher the
city of residence of the family.  Next step is to go to the nearest
large library to get the city directories for the years around the birth.
Your caller now knows to look for a man named FUNKHAUSER who had a daughter
named Glenda J.  The next step is to go to the nearest large library
and read the city directories for a few years on either side of the birth.
Once he's been identified -- his employment will be listed -- he must be
found.
If the birth took place in the 40s or 50s, he's probably deceased.  In
that case, the Social Security Death Index is the place to check.  And
the phone directories available for the country are another resource if
he doesn't appear there or if the birth is later.  Check also for the
wife's name and the names of any sons.  Sons keep their names; daughters
vanish with new names.
Get back to me on this one.

assistant: Re: SHERWOOD References
I have a Davis connection with a Sherwood family that ties into my Estey
databse... however I don't have locations and in some cases I don't have
dates...  I also have another Davis line that intersects with my Estey lines
that has Sherwood used as a middle name in MA. I also have another Davis
ine.
What Ihave  on Sherwood/Davis is:
Nellie May Esty b. 27 Aug 1882 d. Aug 8 1904
m George Nelson Sherwood
Frances Ellen Sherwood b. 6 Aug 1904
m. Elmore Davis d. 1959
I have Some Children and Grand children.. unfortunately I do not have the
location.

As Troop 377 from Fort George G. Meade, MD ends its 55th active year, we are
attempting to locate some of the past Eagle Scouts from the troop.  This can
be rather tricky since this troop has always been made up predomiately of
children of military members and they can be almost anywhere.
If you are one of them, please get in touch.  If you know any of them, please
pass this on to them.  If you were a member but didn't make Eagle, get in
touch with us anyway.  We are planning a birthday celebration of sorts for 11
JAN 98.

assistant: Hello Ruth,
     My SHERWOOD line is in the 1600's in England and CT.
     My DAVIS line is Wales 1841 PA 1879 CO 1938 HI 1969 CA.
     So as you can see I have no overlap betweeen these two names.
     If any of the aove looks interesting we can compare further.
     Good luck in your search.
