Gottlieb
Grenz
Gottlieb Grenz and his
younger brother emigrated to S. Russia from Poland.
From the Gueldendorf Familien Buch in the Odessa Archives
(obtained from ragas by a. Schurr and passed on to me):
Gottlieb was confirmed in Mohilne in 1802. Left
the church in Gueldendof (died) Mar. 28, 1844. The
children born in 1819 and 1822 were born in Rohrbach.
The next 3 in 1824, 1826, 1828 were born in Friedrichtsthal.
The next was born in 1833 in haselbad (?), and in 1836 and
1837 and 1840 were born in Gueldendorf. He died in
Gueldendorf in 1844. (1882634, p.20 item 3)
Gottlieb and Samuel are listed as founders of the town of
Gueldendorf in 1829. It was formed from members of the
villages of Stuttgart, Waterloo and Friedrichstal because they
did not have sufficient water. The move from the
original villages occurred between 1830 and 1838. It was
located about 60 miles to the south of the original 3
villages. (see page 34 of GRHS Heritage Review May 1988)
