Hi again, and thanks for the message! I apologize for the delayed response but September has been a month with excessive professional and personal demands.

I am seeking information on the following person:

Name: Emilie Remus (Römus, Römis, and so on)

Birth Date: about 1869

Birth Place: Bojaliblot (Bialobloty im Kreis Kalisch, Provinz Posen, Prussia?)

Parents: August Remus and Karoline nee --- (1944 statement by grandson Adolf Stürzbecher)

Spouse: August Wilhelm Stürzbecher

Birthdate 24 August 1869

Birth Place: Alexandrow, Volhynia (St. Petersburg records) or Bojaliblot (1944 statement by son Adolf) Parents: Johann Friedrich Stürzbecher (St. Petersburg records and Volhynian Expropriations List) and Susanne nee Sachert/Zachert, or Johann Stürzbecher and Christine nee Schulz (1944 statement by grandson Adolf)

Known Children of Emilie and August Wilheilm: Emil, Adolf, Martha (married Panke)

Emilie lived in Glückstal, Volhynia, when her son Emil was born in 1895, and in Schöndorf, Volhynia, when her son Adolf was born in 1897.

In November 1943, Adolf's estranged wife Ida said that her mother-in-law Emilie was living "in Umsiedlung," or that she had been resettled to some place in the German Reich. In June 1944, Emil's widow said that Emilie had been "verschleppt" or deported to the Soviet interior. In September 1944, Adolf said that his mother Emilie was living in Königsberg in Lower Styria, Austria. This information has been extracted from various World War II-era EWZ documents.

The file http://pixel.cs.vt.edu/pub/stpete/volhynia/vol188xb.txt contains the 24 Nov. 1880 birth of Theodor Remus to August and Caroline (nee Schulz) Remus in Friedensdorf which was in a cluster of villages with Glückstal and Schöndorf, and located east/southeast of Baranowka.

The file http://pixel.cs.vt.edu/pub/stpete/volhynia/vol188xb.txt contains the 18 March 1877 birth of Bertha Remus to August and Karoline (nee Schulz) Remus in Zhitomir.

That's about what I have at the moment. I have enjoyed browsing your web site and have shared it with my mother, Minna Wedmann Hein, born 1929 in Maximowka, Volhynia east/northeast of Novograd-Volhynsk, and my brother!

Thanks!
