Welcome to my  Volmer Village Genealogy Website

 

My name is Angela Gartner and I have been involved with research, translating, and document & data collecting since 1995.  I have  helped hundreds of  families research their Volga Family Histories. 

 

The village that I have extensive knowledge of is a Volga village called Volmer (Kopenka as said in Russian).  I also have comparable knowledge of a nearby village called Schuck (Gryaznovatka) since the two villages were located so close.

 

I have translated, analyzed, and compiled the 1834 and 1850 Volmer Census Documents; and they are available for purchase.  I have translated other village census documents for other Village Coordinators and am willing to continue this service.

 

Most know me as the Volmer Village Coordinator for AHSGR, which I was since 2006.  I am pleased to announce that Cathy Hawinkels is now the new Volmer Village Coordinator. Her and I have worked together a lot over the years and likely will still for many more. Her website is    www.volmer.ca

 

Other websites worthy of checking out are: 

 

Volmer—The Center for Volga German Studies

Volmer (wolgadeutche.net) - in Russian, use a translator

Schuck (wolgadeutche.net) - in Russian, use a translator

 

My time as a researcher is now spent as follows:

· Translating Russian written Census Documents, and Family Letters.

· Trying to find the 1775 & 1857 Volmer Census, and church  records.

· The 1857 document is in existence as the Gartner Family Chart that was submitted by Florence Rizzolo proves it.

· Creating Family Reports & Family Trees for purchase.

· Helping families with their own research

· Continuing researching the Gartner Family from Volmer

 

The most difficult part of researching this Village is the fact that we have not been able to find any census or church records for   Volmer or Schuck after the 1850 Volmer Census.  It makes it difficult to link many present families to the 1850 Census.  We will have to rely on oral history as to what our great-great grandparents maiden names and parents names were in order to piece together the puzzle.  If you have even one of our Villagers names in your family tree please let me know.

 

Please look thru the website and I hope it will help you with your research.
