Parents




Alexander Schott was born in 1885 to Johann Friedrich Schott Jr. and Eva Katharina Kraft. He should be listed in family #120 in the 1897 Grimm census, but for some reason, only his father is listed. This appears to be a census taker error. Grimm Village Coordinator John Groh from the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia contacted the translator about the omission. He asked if the names of the family members were in the documentation the translator used to translate the census from Russian to English. The translator confirmed that no family members were listed after Johann Friedrich Schott's name.

I am including a copy of the census entry so Alexander's connection to his grandparents and cousins can be established. I've also added an addendum to the census record which shows the names of the known siblings and their approximate ages.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Alexander by comparing test results with other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Alexander:
