Biography

Johannes Huck was a Volga German.

Johannes Huck has German Roots.

Family #HK13 in the 1798 Huck census.

According to the Center for Volga German Studies at Concordia University, Huck was founded by Germans from Isenburg and the Palatinate. ^[1]

The year of his birth in the family records does not match the year of his birth in the Huck Family Tree. I removed the date of birth taken from the family tree referenced below and left the estimated date based on the 1798 Huck census. Based on the records I've reviewed thus far, the name of his father can't be confirmed yet I will leave Andreas Huck attached for now, but am holding off on naming his mother or other relatives until I can identify his birth record.
