[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Surnames Geppert/Rakko/Zell

[Rose Ingram]

Barbara,

I was incorrectly focusing on the spelling Rakko, which we all know we 
should NOT do...
The PRI database shows a Paulina Rako born in 1862, on Lodz film 0809424, I 
guess you may have already seen this.  No doubt about it, you will have to 
do some leg wrok and  rent films at the LDS FHC's.

The tricky part will be locating the marriage record for Adolph and Pauline, 
which should confirm their parentage and complete the link.

>>> I am hoping someone can help me.  I am looking for information regarding 
>>> the following ancestors.  My Gr. gr. Grandfather Adolph Geppert born in 
>>> 1863, he married Pauline Rakko who was born in 1862 or 1868.  Adolph and 
>>> Pauline immigrated from the Samara region of Russia (Colony Reinsfeld I 
>>> believe) in 1902.  They arrived in St. John N.B. December 15, 1902 on 
>>> the Lake Champlain where I found them listed as Deppert with their 
>>> children Gustav(17), Amalie(15), Edward(11, my gr. Grandpa), 
>>> Waldemar(9), Olga(4) and Florentina(1).  According to my family there

>>> asking if he was travelling with family but my Grandma has no idea who

>>> 6 census as I believe they are on the missing pages for this district.
>>>
>>> Pauline Rakko's parents were Franz Rakko, born 1838 Lodz, Poland and 
>>> Maria Zell born 1840 Pabianice, Poland.  I need to confirm this

>>> brothers.  They both died in Colony Reinsfeld, Samara, Russia, Franz in 
>>> 1883 and Maria in 1913.  They had 8 children- Adolf b. 1870, Maria b. 
>>> 1872, Louis b. 1874, August b. 1876, Reinhold b. 1878, Ida b. 1880 and 
>>> Woldemar b. 1882 all in Colony Reinsfeld.
