AHSGR Charts and Sources

Genealogy Research assistance provided by Wayne Bonner, AHSGR Village Coordinator for Balzer, who looked up (and translated from Cyrilic) the information in the charts from the following resources (Citation creation needed for his resources, citations for his research reports below)

• 1767 first settlers list for Balzer
• 1798 census
• Birth, Marriage, and Death records
• Communion records 1846-1870
• Communion records 1871-1890
• Communion records 1906-1925: Fond 637-18-5

Notes from W. Bonner on the resources:

• accompanying the charts of Catharina and son Jacob Jr: "References used include the 1767 first settlers list for Balzer as well as the 1798 census. Prior to 1834, Balzer birth, marriage, and death registers were consulted. After 1834, the Communion records are the primary source of information. There are a few gaps in my information, thus some of the death records are missing, but generally, the charts are complete. Lines extending back into other Volga colonies are also not available to me, but you can contact those coordinators and perhaps fill in more information" 15 Jan 2021 email to S. Mason
• accompanying chart of Jacob Sr: "For references I used the 1798 census, plus Balzer baptism, marriage and death records as well as the 1846-1870, 1871-1890 and 1906-1925 communion records." 11 Jan 2021 email to S. Mason
