Research Notes

• 1834, 1857 Grechinaya Luka Census^[3][4][6]
  • Need to find and access copies of these census records to verify information. ~ Allison Mackler, 22 October 2018
• Based on an email conversation with the village coordinators regarding the marriages and children of Johann Jakob Dietz, Heinrich is currently considered a child of Margaretha, the first wife of Jakob:

  "There is no reference or source to verify which children belong to Margaretha and which children belong to Anna Catharina Nazarenus. There is however a gap between child Johann Wilhelm b. 1786 and Johann Jakob b. 1791 which is why [we] had listed the children separately, a natural break after Margaretha died and Johann Jacob remarried Anna Catharina Nazarenus. But we can't prove it with a source.... The only explanation we can come up with is the 5 year gap between Johann Wilhelm b. 1786 and Johann Jakob b. 1791 and perhaps Margaretha died after 1786 and before 1791."^[7]
