Daniel 林丹尼 Lindbergh Lang grew up both in the American Midwest (1997–2008) and in North Las Vegas, Nevada (2008–2015). Lang attended the University of Nevada, Reno (2015–2019). He received his confirmation name Paul in 2016. He first traveled to China in 2017. He continued to revisit China in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Lang became a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Mongolia (2019–2020; 2022–2024).

Lang's interest in genealogy probably derives from his love of narratives and of identity. In 8th grade at Bridger Middle School, Daniel got a "Best Writer" award. As an 11th grader and then as a 12th grader at Advanced Technologies Academy, he got the top student award in graphic design. In 12th grade, he also got the top student award in social studies. Then at university, he graduated at the top of his class in journalism. So he'd had a persistent interest in creative writing and stories.

Lang speaks English, Mandarin Chinese and Mongolian. He'd also studied Spanish and Latin. He would love to know German someday. Partner of Naranzaya.

Lang Name Study

Our Langs came from Austria. They settled in the middle of Kansas since the start of the 1900s.

Lin Name Study

Our Lins came from Hunan, China. The family history claims they settled there from an eastern coastal province such as around Fujian by the 1200s.

Hello Daniel -- it was a delight to encounter your line of ancestors on WikiTree. I was in China as a boy from 1947-1951 where I went by 戴文光. We were in north China -- Kalgan in Inner Mongolia -- the first two years and then Chengtu, Szechuan (I still tend to use the old spellings!) the last two years, before and after the change of government. Somewhere in the back of my brain is the complete Szechuanese vocabulary of a Chinese 9-year old, but unfortunately I forgot almost all of it when we returned to the states.

Dear Rev. Dr. 戴文光 Day,

Thank you very much for your kind words! I appreciate as well your decade of contributions to WikiTree, especially your work on the Asia and Profile Improvement Projects. While my Chinese side certainly needs some work compared to the many extended family members engaged in Austrian/Volga German ancestry, I also have an interest in Mongolian genealogy through my Peace Corps service.

I'm very grateful to the WikiTree users who finished helping me to input ancestor profiles through the document my relatives passed down and shared with me. The family legends say before our oldest ancestor lived in Hunan, our ancestors migrated there from the coast around modern day Fujian! Hence, our branch of the Lin name made it inland. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lin-306

Sincerely, 林丹尼 Daniel

Good morning, Daniel!

I saw your references to Mai, Brent Alan. 1798 Census of the German Colonies along the Volga: Economy, Population, and Agriculture (Lincoln, NE: American Historical Society of Germans from Russia, 1999): Km048.

I have done some work in this area before, some for my stepdaughter who has Volga-German ancestry, but also for several settler families who ended up in South Dakota. I know that the Volga-German subproject might also be interested. Do you have a link to this publication or is it paper only?

Kind regards,

Pippin Sheppard

Hello, Pip!

This is a link to Brent's publication: https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/library-books/3/

My distant relative Alice Pfeifer first shared with me Brent's book when describing for me how the 1767 census records that our shared ancestor Friedrich Schäfer came from the German village of Oberramstadt. Our Volga-German ancestors wound up heading for Kansas, but I'm so interested in that shared ancestry! I personally know little about the Volga-German area, as more of my ancestors came from the Bohemian Forest region. How exciting!

Sincerely, Daniel

The Volga-German Project got all excited about this book! Thanks for the info!

Oh, I am delighted, Pip! May the fruits of your research impact my own understanding of our ancestry, as well! Warmly, Daniel
Dear Daniel

I am not sure, but did you have a FLACHS or similar? I have just found that my Flax was aslo Flaks and possibly flachs?

Dear Sharon,

I've seen Flachs listed as Flax, yes. For relatives who moved to the States, they seemed to change their spelling to Flax from Flachs.

Best, Daniel
