Schultz from Karlswolde to S. Dakota or Kansas after 1873

milburnjanet — 4 Apr 2004 12:02:12 GMT

Seeking descendants of Rev. David SCHULTZ who settled in South Dakota area. Would like to exchange family histories........ y ggrandfather, Abraham Schultz, son of Samuel SCHULTZ and unknown wife, came to America in 1875 on the ship 'Kenilworth' . He is listed, incorrectly as Albert SCHULTZ, age 26, on passenger list. He brought with him his wife, Helena VOTH, and his small daughter, Helena.
who at age 17, married Adam NIGHTENGALE...........
Surely, Abraham had other siblings????
This family was Mennonite and settled in McPherson County, Kansas. Both the above David and Abraham came from Karlswolde. My paternal ancestors came to American from the Antanofka and Karlswolde villages.
Do you have the answers I am seeking? Hope so!
Would enjoy hearing from others with this same background, perhaps we can help each other.

Andreas Pedersohn FOUT/VOTH b.1840 Antanofka md. Helena KOEHN

mariahzwind — 12 Oct 2004 5:30:45 GMT

I have a family whose name in America is Fout but I have a photocopy of a hand written document which has the name as Voth or similar. The family is as follows:
Andreas Pedersohn Fout
b. 2 Jan 1840 Antanofka, Ostrog, Volynska, Ukraine
d. 16 Aug 1926 , Johnson Co., Iowa
m. Helena Koehn (d/o Benjamin Koehn)
b. 2 Jun 1842 Antanofka, Ostrog, Volynska, Ukraine
d. 11 Sep 1927 , Johnson Co., Iowa

I know that Andreas (Andrew) had 5 sisters and 4 brothers. 2 sisters were older the rest younger. Helena had 2 sisters and 3 brothers all younger than her.

They came to America in 1874. I am thinking that his father might have been named Peter as Andrew's middle name is Pedersohn/Peterson.

Can anyone out there shed any more light on the Voth family? Were there Voth's from this area of the Ukraine?
