In terms of proximity, Christina Elisabeth Durin, #241, lived the closest to the Schwemmer family, #237, at the time of the 1834 census.

The surname Durin may have been a misspelled version of another Volga German name. It does not appear in any of the Volga German villages in the 1798 census, and the surname first appears in Grimm in 1834. Otherwise, if the name is correct, then the family's origin is unknown.
