Gallery of Faustindorf

The Hoffmans and Spitzers moved here around 1836 and exited around 1855. The Mennonite Encyclopedia states that a Busch in his trip through Volhynia about in 1859 found Faustindorf as having 107 adherants (Lutherans) with 17 children in school; the teacher was paid 15 Rubels and the produce from a garden and meadowland. He also received his accommodation and heating for free. Jacob Reiser was the teacher prior to the departure.
