Research Notes

Note: Gerhard Penner had passed away by the time of the May 1813 Chortitza Colony Census, where his wife is listed as a widow at Chortitza #2.

The November 1815 Chortitza Colony Census states that Gerhard died in 1813. Note: Gerhard settled at Wickerau by Elbing, Prussia. He migrated from Prussia to the Chortitza Colony, S. Russia in 1795 (P. Rempel, p. 43).

In the 1797 Chortitza Colony Census he is listed with his family, but not in a specific village (P. Rempel, p. 54). He seems to have originally settled in Rosenthal, but he later exchanged the Rosenthal homestead for the Chortitza homestead of Gerhard Pries #110533 (P. Rempel, p. 43; B. H. Unruh, p. 246).

In the 1801 Chortitza Colony Census he is listed at Chortitza #4.
