I am looking for information on these families. Wilhelm and Rosalia WINTER
(b. abt 1835 & 1839) were my gggrandparents. Their son Peter m. Luise
HANSCH Mar 27, 1885. These were my ggrandparents. I can't finad any
records for him, but family lore says the bolsheviks took him away and he
was never seen again (probably after their youngest was conceived in 1897
and before wife emigrated to Canada in 1904?) His sister Julianna WINTER
was b. Sep 18, 1875 in Marianin. She later married a widower, much older
than she was, a Wilhelm KROLL. The KROLLs emigrated through Ellis Island
w/her WINTER parents in the late 1890s/1900. WINTERs also had a son/brother
Michael who died Jan 30, 1880 in Rozyszce parish, Lezachow. Amelia WINTER,
a daughter/sister had her baby, Adolf, there in 1883. Amelia WINTER went
on to marry August HANSCH, brother of Luise in the 1880s (can't find a
record) and they had 12 children, 7 of whom died in a smallpox epidemic in
1905. I believe there were a couple more HANSCHs who remained in Zhitomir,
Adam and Stefan. A sister, Karolina HANSCH, emigrated either before or
after marrying a man w/the last name MAIER (I think...) I don't know where
else to look besides the St. Petersberg Extractions. I believe
Luise(Louise) died somehwere in Strathcona, Alta, but I don't know when.
She lived with her daughters' families there; they married OTTO and
BABLITZ. I assume they are buried in some Lutheran Cemetery. I'm new to
this website and new to searching for information outside the US. Can
anyone help me with these families?
