Dockter, Grenz and Mayer Family mentioned by Peggy Grenz, knitpeg@onemain.com [R-80] on 12 Sept 2000 and 14 Sept 2000 [inpart]:
Hello Judy,
Thank you for posting information on the GR list for your Dockter website. My in-laws, Emil and Esther Hartwig Grenz were good friends of Jacob G Dockter in the Sacramento, CA area. (In fact, there have been many Dockter families here and in the Lodi-Franklin area for years.) Jacob G Dockter had some information on Emil's mother's family (she was Katherina Mayer) and typed it up for him. We are very thankful that he did it, as we wouldn't have had that information.
It is a little story of Philip Mayer and his life. Jacob begins the story by saying: "This is a Writeing (sic) of Grandpa Mayer." Though I find no Mayer mentioned in any of your genealogy, is it possible he was a grandson of Philip Mayer. My husband thinks he was related. Maybe this is a Jacob G. Dockter you have no record of (?) ....
Note: Katherina Mayer, sister of Philip Mayer, married Christophe Grenz.
(No date on letter, but presumably in the mid 1960's.
"Dear Emil.
This is the writeing of Grandpa Mayer. Philip Mayer was born July 12, 1869 in Neudorf, S.Russia. The son of Joseph Mayer and Katherina Nie Mittleider. At the age of 21 he came to the U.S. in 1890. On Dec 12th he married Christina Steinbach in the year of 1895. They lived in S.D. until 1902 when they moved to a farm 8 miles S.E. of Streeter. N.D.
They were blessed with 11 children, of which 3 sons and 3 daughters are living yet.
In August of 1929 Mrs. Mayer died, and in the fall of 1939 Mr Mayer moved into the city of Streeter and on Dec. 5 1939 he married Christina Seher. They lived in Streeter till the fall of 1953 they moved to the old peoples home at Bismark and in Nov 1957 the second wife died, he lived at Bismarck until 1959 when he moved to a home at Jamestown.
On July 18, 1961 he died in the Jamestown Hospitol, at the age of 91 years 11 mo and 6 days.
The funeral....
/signed/ Jacob G. Dockter"

______Hello again, Judy,
...Here is a little more information that you might need (as told to me by Raymond M Grenz, my husband)
Great uncle Philip Mayer had a daughter that married a Dockter. Another daughter was Emma Mayer Bitterman and she lived next door to them. Emma's son, Ray and I went to college together...one Christmas he introduced me to his cousin, Ray Grenz ...we married in 1955 and here we are 45 years later...

<< I thought you might be interested in this list of descendants for Michael GUTHMILLER and Karolina HOFFER Thanks for including the information on Michael and Karolina on you page. Learning Friederica ROTT's last name helped me link this line into the rest of the
Guthmiller's.
I am left a little confused about where Leona Tesky and Anna Maria Ludt fit. I would like to compare information with Leona. I have 3 different birth dates for Joseph Tesky husband of Anna Maria Lud and up until now no Joseph Tesky married to Katharina Wisser. Is this the same person?

RemMick
recieved a booket about the "ANCESTORS and DESCENDANTS of MR. AND MRS. GEORGE
J. HIEB from Ret. Lt. Col. Harley
F. Hieb of Lodi shortly before his death 1 April 1994 plus a copy
of his pusblish book called HEART OF IRON which gives us his personal
experiences of the American jungle warefare of the Philippine Islands
during WWII. He was des. of Adam Hieb who had two
[known] sons. They were Jacob,who is Harley's ancestsor, and Wilhelm
Hieb. Many of Adam Hieb's desc. migrated first to ND, USA then Lodi,
CA. Wilhlem Hieb m. Maria Katherina Dockter, dau. of Jacob Dockter
and Magdalena, nee Landenberger
note:See Doctker Family Gen. 3, Child 2.
The following is an educated guess as to this lineage from data received:
Adam Hieb m. (1) NN Issue:
Wilhlem Hieb b. bef. 1837 m. Maria Katherina Dockter, dau. of Jakob Dockter and Magdalena, nee Landenberger , b. 1836 Neudorf / Od. S. Russia Issue:
[See
photograph]
Harley
Hieb is the author of Heart of Iron.
The foreward was written by Helen Reisenweber:
"This record of the Hieb families includes the families who have lived during a period of 150 years. It is especially prepared for the descendants of George J. Hieb, most of whom are presently living in this year, 1962.
George J. Hieb devoted most of his life to pioneering, as did his father and grandfather before him. Prior to 1812, Weurtemburg, Germany was home to the Hieb families living at that time.
In the year 1812, Adam Hieb and his parents joined the tide of immigration to the region around the Black Sea in Russia, where Adam raised his family. His son, Jacob was the father of 12 children...
When political and social conditions in Russia became to unpleasant for the freedom loving Germans, Jacob Hieb, Sr. decided to engage in a pioneering venture with his family and undertook the long journey to America on May 2, 1874..."

Dear Judy,
I was looking for some Hauck information when I ran across your website...
...you have Aisenbreg, but the correct spelling is Aisenbrey... I know because I have gazillion of them in my family tree.
You have Emma's sister Chrsitine Kost m. to Jacob Hieb. That may be so, but the parents of the children you list, are actually Christina Mettler and Jacob Hieb. My Jacob Hieb is b. 10 Jul 1858 and d. 26 Nov 1933. Christina and Jacob Hieb had 7 children all togather between 1881 and 1902....
As "your" August Nuss/Nusz married "my" Caroline/Karolina Mettler, I can send you a more complete list ....For now, Karolina b. July 19, 1875 d. July 15, 1945, is the daughter of Johann Mettler and Christina Schnabel. August and Karolina..had 11 children...

<< Hi, perhaps you can be of help to me. I am trying to figure out the ancestors of Jacob Mayer and his wives Katharina and Carolina and her first husband who was a Dockter. Here is what I have so far:
FAMILY OF JACOB MAYER Jacob Mayer came to the Hosmer area from Russia.
He was married to Katherine Hieb. To this union were born fivedaughters:
Mrs. Philip (Eva) Heil,
Mrs. Theobolt (Katherina) Guthmiller,
Mrs. Christ (Caroline) Nelich,
Mrs. Gottleib (Magdalina) Hieb, and
Mrs. Gottlieb (Christina) Kirschenmann.
Katherine died and Jacob then married Caroline, sister of Katherine.Caroline had one son, John Dockter.
To Jacob and Caroline were born five sons and two daughters:
Jacob,
Bernard,
William,
Mrs. Fred (Rosa) Jundt,
Otto,
Mrs. Julius (Lydia) Eisenbeis, and
Leonard. Jacob died in February 1937 and Caroline died in August 1941.
Jacob and Caroline farmed northeast of Hosmer, later moved about two miles southwest of Hosmer, then moved to Hosmer where they lived their retirement years.
Jacob, Caroline and Katherine are all buried in Hosmer, SD. Also it is unclear if there were 2 Jacob Jr.s with one born to each wife.

I may be incorrectly be assuming these are the same couple. If it is then there is a case to be made that these are the parents of my Katherina and Carolina Hieb. Particularly considering so many of the aunts and uncles ended up in the Dakotas.
Where did you get your list of children and do you have any additional information on them? Was this from the Book: ANCESTORS and DESCENDANTS of MR. AND MRS. GEORGE J. HIEB by Remmick-Hubert, Judy A.
It is interesting that you also have a:
Karoline Dockter m. in Neudorf / Od. to Ephriam Heyne. Had four children bef. migr. to USA in 1894 to Hosmer, SD then six more children n. Elgin, ND....Issue:
Carolina Heyne m. Koepplin
Gottlieb Heyne
Paulina Heyne
August Heyne
Katherina Heyne
Emma Heyune
Magdalena Heyne
I haven't figured out the relationship yet but I think this would be a cousin to the Carolina Hieb I am looking for who migrated to Hosmer, SD in 1892.
You also have:
Magdalena Dockter m. (1) Christian Morlock m. (2) John Huber. She had three children by Christian. She became a widow and migr. to USA where she married her sister's widow John. Lived n. Hillsview then Bentley, ND who like Carolina Hieb married her sisters widow.
and
Margaret Dockter d. Russian Revolution m. John Hieb. They had foursons. Little is known of their fate.
Could Carolina Hieb's first husband have been killed in the Russian Revolution about 1892?

Ludwig Hoffer married Barbara Dockter about 1871-1872. They had 7 children that I know of. Three died of smallpox in 1886. One died shortly afters his brith in 1875. Three reached adulthood and immigrated to the US. Barbara died sometime after 1888 but was probably dead by 1892. Ludwig married widow Johann (Hertel) Heiser about 1893.

Dockter-Hieb Photo
Great web site.
My Grandmother's step-mother Karolina (Hieb) Mayer is pictured in your photo as a young girl. Karolina Hieb was b. 1/1/1871 Neudorf. Her brothers pictured are probably Johann Hieb b. 7/31/1869, and August Hieb b. 7/18/1879. Therefore, your photo was probably taken between 1881-1885. Karolina (Hieb) Dockter immigrated to American with her 9 month old son John in Aug, 1892. She then married Jacob Mayer in McPherson Co., SD. The photo of Jacob and Karolina Mayer that I've attached was taken after Aug., 1892. Her sister Katherina (Hieb) Mayer (Jacob's first wife) died in 1891-1892.

I don't have a web site; however, I have my GEDCOM on the Worldtree in both Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com. I put my family together the hard way. Had I waited a couple of years, several Neudorf and Kassel researchers (Hieb,
Guthmiller, Walth, Mayer, Borkirchert, Wetzler, Voegele, Lehr, etc.) really got into the act. It's been a great experience, as you well know. I knew very little, even about my Grandparents. The entire Russian migration to/from was not even rumored about. The Pixel Library was a great help early on. I add a little each week. My mother (Adella (Hieb) Durst grew up in Leola, SD. I am descendant from two Hieb lines-from the Hieb brothers Balthazar and Wilhelm (J. Adam Hieb's sons).

Letter from Loretta Hieb Allphin, allfun@pmt.org
Wilhelm Hieb
My name is Loretta Hieb Allphin. I found your website while searching for information on my grandfather Wilhelm Hieb born 12 Aug 1863. According to information on your website, my grandfather Wilhelm's father was Adam Hieb. In my research I thought that his father's name was also Wilhelm Hieb born in about 1832. My grandmother's name was Christina Hieb born 14 Feb 1865 and her father's name was (I think Adam Hieb). My grandparents were cousins. I would like to find out exactly who my great grandparents are. If you have information, please e-mail me at allfun@pmt.org. Thanks

Hi,
I've enjoyed reading about the Hoffer family heritage. Please note Marvin C. Hoffer wrote: "My grandfather, Jacob Hoffer, also had a brother named Martin, who had the children: Katherine, Jacob, Christina, Lydia, John, Barbara, Paulline, Amy, Emil, and Arthur. Martin's wife's name was Barbara. No date on this family's arriaval in the U.S. from Russia."
I believe Martin's wife was Barbara Burkardt. She was a sister to Ludwig Burkardt.
Ludwig was born Sept. 30, 1889 at Odessa, Russia toFredick and Sophia Burkardt who were German desentants. Ludwig came to America at the age of 19 and spent a year in Streeter North Dakota with a sister, Caroline Burkardt and husband August Schauer.
Ludwig Burkardt married Kathyrn Hieb daughter of Jacob and Barbara Hieb on March 17, 1912 at Reliance. They homestead for a year south of Reliance on the White River. Then he bought a ranch near Reliance where he lived until 1950, when he moved to Chamberlain and made his home the rest of his life. His wife preceded hm in death in Dec. 18, 1936. an nfant son, Jacob Louis Burkardt also preceded him in death Jan. 11, 1932 - Jan. 12, 1932. The couple had 5 daughters:
Mrs. Esther Schelske b. June 6, 1909 m. Dec. 14, 1933 to Adolph
Schelske b. Mar 5, 1909 Reliance SD
Mrs. Lena Schwalm b. Oct. 1, 1913 m. Leo Schwalm, Chamberlain SD
Mrs. Edith Larson b. June 25, 1920 m. Duane Larson Sioux Falls SD
Mrs. Matilda Husman b. Aug. 23, 1927 m. Lloyd Husman Presho SD
Esther and Adolph Schelske are the parents of:
Louis Richard Schelske
Adella Schelske Mohr
Ralph Schelske
Marie connie Schelske Surat
Karen Kay Schelske Gunter
Delilha Rae Schelske Fletcher
Ralph married Janice Carey daugther of Irvin Z. Carey at Chamberlain Aug. 1 1959 children:
Janet, Steve, Kayla, Sharla, Wyatt, Jared, and John Schelske
I would enjoy hearing from you. I want to know more about Martin and Barbara Hoffer.
Martin died in 1924 and Barbara in 1930.
If you have anymore infomation about the Ludwig Burkardt family, please
let me know.
Thank you,

The Jakob Hoffer who married Katharina Teske I think is the one that I am looking...I have a letter from John Hoffer who I think is Johann [Hoffer]. He was 83 in 1982 and mentioned that his birthday was in june. The letter was written to my mother who passed away in 1986. If it is the right one he was her half brother. I am trying to find out more about Katharina. I found her in the Hoffer descendants; if there it has a sister to Jakob as being married to Daniel Giesse which is wrong as Katharina Teske Hoffer is the one who married Danie Giese. They are my grandparents. I do not have much information...on Katharina as she passed away when my mother was 5 years old....
Thank you.

<<Hello Judy,
Most of the Hof(f)ers I have in my database are the family of Friedrich Hofer (b. Dec 29 1885, Neudorf Russia, d. Apr 24 1956) and his wife Christina Wiederrich (b. Mar 4 1887, Neudorf Russia, d. Nov 15 1955).
The other Hofer I have in my database is Martha Hofer (b. Jun 16 1915, Neudorf Russia, fate unknown). She was part of the family who stayed in Russia. Her husband was Jacob Wiedrich (1st cousin to the aforementioned Christina Wiederrich). We know they were both alive in 1944 when they made it back to Germany but do not know what happened to them afterwards. It is believed that they were deported to Siberia where they may have perished.
They had three children: Erhardt (b. 1937), Katharina (b. 1939), and Ella (b. 1944). Apparently, Erhardt was still alive and living in Russia in the 1960s when he visited an uncle whose children now live in Germany. Current whereabouts of this family is unknown, but we are still searching for them, or information about them, among some of the old Neudorfers who live in Germany.
If you would like any of this information, let me know.

<< We have another contact for Michael Hoffer's exploits. Lets have a brief review of what is happening here. Michael Hoffer was a little boy in ??? and went to South Russia, Ukrane and married Barbara (Barbra) Laudt and had some children, Carolyn, Michael a twin,
Fredrick,
daughter a twin died,
Elizabeth,
Eva,
Brother twin died @ birth.
Michael then married a widdow, Magdalena Knorr (who most likely had children I don't have records) and had
Louisa,
Christian,
Magdalena,
Kathryn,
Rosina,
Puline
&
Christian.
Two Christian's may indicate an early death. In 1906 Michael and wife Maggy moved to the US, transported on the ship, Columbia. Some idications are that he went to Texas and bought some land, moved near Denver, moved to ND. He had brothers in Canada.
Barbara was a little girl in ???? and married Michael Hoffer 29 Mar 1861 in Kassel, SR. She died ? how I don't know.
Maggie was a little girl in ??? and married Michael Hoffer,
Magdalena (Maggie) Knorr 8 Jun 1881 @ Bergdorf, a widow.
This is much more than I had when I started and their may be some disagreements on this outline. BUT it is a start. If we pull together we may get a story that most of us like, may not be fact but it will make a good story for our children. It appears there are many names duplicated in Europe and the best identification is name, birth date & name of father. Mothers didn't count much because it appears their mothers aren't recorded. Pleas feal free to respond.

<< There were a large number of Krein families in Neudorf. Has anyone
determined whether they all descended from a single Krein immigrant around
1800, or were there multiple Krein settlers in Neudorf? I had a long
conversation with a family friend, Theobald Krein, born September 4, 1927 in
Neudorf to Jakob and Katherina Krein. There is some thought that our families
may be related, but I am not aware of info establishing what the relationship
might be between Jakob and Franz, if any. >>
Dear Ed:
I guess the ancestors' spirits have been working overtime again! Just last
night I was reviewing some of the Neudorf/Odessa and South Prussia data that
I have been working on, which includes the Kreins of Neudorf.
Konrad Krein [born 1766 in Henau, by Kirn, Rhineland] first took his family
out of Swarzenden [abt 2 km "over the hill" from Henau] to SOUTH PRUSSIA [aka
Prussian Poland], arriving in July 1803 in the German colony of Hilsbach, Amt
Krzepice [just north of the Polish city of Czestochowa, which is south of
Lodz]. The Polish name for Hilsbach is Czarny Las, which is translated as
"Black Forest" in English!
Konrad Krein remained in Hilsbach [aka Heilsbach], Poland until 1808, when he
obtained a passport to go to South Russia. His passport is published in Dr.
Karl Stumpp's book, page 1014, #28: Konrad Krain [sic], 44 years, out of the
"Reich" traveling from Lemberg [then capital of Austrian Galicia], through
Brody [border crossing from Galicia into Russian territory], to
NEUDORF/Odessa. Traveling with his wife, Anna Magdalena; his children:
Margaretha, Franz Michael, Friedrich & Konrad; with ONE [einem] horse.
[Left] Lemberg 6 Nov 1808; passport stamp at Brody 9 Nov 1808.
Konrad and his family was traveling with a Michael BOLLINGER, who I believe
was his son-in-law [no direct proof at this time, but the available
circumstancial evidence seems to point in that direction]. Michael Bollinger
was born in Burgstall, Backnang, Wue. in 1783. His father, Friedrich Jacob
Bollinger, took his large family from Burgstall to Hilsbach, Poland, arriving
in 1805, where Friedrich Jacob died. Michael's passport is also found in
Stumpp, page 1014, #27: Michael Bollinger, 26 years, out of
Burgstall/Backnang-Wue, traveling from Lemberg through Brody to
Neudorf/Odessa. Traveling with his wife, Anna Elisabeth [nee Krein??]; his
mother, Eva Magdalena [nee Doz, 2nd wife of Friedrich Jacob Bollinger]; and
child, Margaretha [born in Hilsbach, Poland in 1806]; with TWO horses.
[Left] Lemberg 6 Nov 1808; passport stamp at Brody 9 Nov 1808.
As far as I know, all the Kreins of Neudorf descend from Konrad Krein and his
sons. The Glueckstal Colonies books on Births & Marriages and Deaths should
provide you with good information, if you wish to construct a link with your
family "friend" [cousin!]. We could also provide some assistance for the
period after 1885, by using the Berlin Document Center films which are in our
National Archives in College Park, MD. These BDC records should have your
Theobald Krein's family application for German citizenship from 1944-45. We
visit the Archives frequently to do such research for persons from all over
the world. Just let us know if we can be of assistance to you.
By the way, Michael Bollinger was the Schulz [mayor] of Neudorf for an
extended period--definitely in the 1820-1827 timeframe.
Good luck on your trip--God be with you!
Regards, Tom [& Jan Huber-Stangl] Stangl
#2-----12 Sept 2000
<< May I place your data on my web site for those who would like this data for themselves? >>
I have no objection. However, the "speculation" about Michael Bollinger's wife being a Krein, needs to be checked in the Rhineland records--to see if Konrad Krein had a daughter, named Anna Elisabetha. Have your or anyone else you know done any Krein research in the Kirn area?
The village name from where the Krein's left for South Prussia--it should be SCHWARZERDEN--it was spelled Swarzenden in the South Prussian records.

I am researching my great great grandmother Margaretha Landenberger Haffner, born in June, 1821, married George Haffner on 30 Jan 1840 in Glueckstal, had ten children in Neudorf, emigrated to Tripp, Hutchinson County, SD in 1879, died sometime after 1900.
Her birthdate falls between the Stumpp book and the St. Petersburg records.
Her life seems to parallel your Magdalena Landenberger born 1817, married to Jacob Docktor. Have you ever ran into any evidence of my Margaretha? Any suggestions of where to look?
I have several good sources on Margaretha after she came to the country, will try to find her grave in Hutchinson County next time I go outside (of Alaska).
(I also have Hieb cousins from Tripp, SD yet, I see you have Hiebs too)
I would appreciate any help/advice you can give me as I am stopped until I make the connections with her parents. I hate to quit at 1821.

Sure, you can list my email address, never know when something might turn up.
I have searched all the Pixel databases, also Stumpp's Emigration from Germany to Russia in the Years 1763 to 1862. Margaretha (born 1821)falls in between the establishment of Bergdorf (1816) and the 1835 census also the Pixel databases start in 1835. I want badly to call her a sister of your Magdalena born 1817 in Neudorf, but I just noticed my Margaretha was listed as born in Prussia after so it looks doubtful she is a sister, and I need to start over again searching.
