Johann Peter Schneider , born Russia Catharina Sophia Krantz (Krentz), born Russia
I have not done enough research on her parents to say where they were from.
Thank you Mary Lou Hoffman Huckaby for your excellent research and helping me put together our connected families, the Oblander's, Winters, Becker's and Schneider's. May you rest in peace.
"Mary Lou Huckaby sent a copy of a letter written by John George Oblander, Chicago, Ill, on 30 July 1947, and a draft family chart on Oblanders. Her information goes back to a Johan Frederick Oblander called "Dan" (1795 - 1840) married to Eva Katherine Blahm. There are two sons, Jacob and Christoff who had flour mills in Muehlberg(Shcherbakovka) There were four more brothers. We think this may be part of the same family,but more information is needed.
The letter-- written by the father of a cousin of Mary Lou's-- traces branches of the family to the Okeene, OK. area,to Wichita and Wellington, KS. to Canada, and Windsor, CO.The J. G.Oblander family immigrated to the United States in 1900. An exit visa from Russia is dated 31 Oct 1900. They were quarantined at Ellis Island for three months, where some of the children died, namely Frederich and Heinrich, who were half brothers. They later took a ship to Galveston, TX, where they officially entered the U. S."
J. G. Oblander and some of his family converted to the Seventh Day Adventist religion.Conrad Oblander reportedly changed his name to Elmer Finley. Members of the family were living in the Villages of Avilla and Erlenbach before emigrating.
J. G. Oblander, writer of the letter, was born 16 April 1884 (Apr. 28, new calendar) in Avilla. His father was George Oblander, and mother was Kathryn Elizabeth Lochmann ,of the village of Stephan. His letter is filled with familiar names including: Blehm, Frederich Laubhan,Gotlieb Schaffer, Kathryn Kerbs, Kathryn Becker-Schonfeld, Albert Peach, John Ruhl,David Nuss, Henry Marxsen, Eva Winter, Gottfried Winter, son of Leonhard; Fred Mier,Reinhardt Nuss.
