Biography
Julie (Miller) Mangano was a Volga German.
Julie (Miller) Mangano has German Roots.
Granddaughter of Volga Germans.
I have been an avid genealogist for many years. It started with my grandfather showing me a family Bible to help me with a family tree project for school. There was no stopping me, and now I am considering the family historian and keeper of all the family's historical papers.
My father's side of the family had a wealth of genealogy information already pulled together, along with thousands of photographs, letters, and other documents that have been passed down to me. My great aunt left me boxes of information from her military days during World War II in London. My grandfather's family may be singularly responsible for kick-starting the photography industry back in the 1800s!
My mother's side of the family are Germans from Russia, and that information has been more difficult to track down. Through a strange twist, a letter addressed to my deceased great aunt was passed down to me, written in German. My husband and I translated it and discovered it was from my grandmother's nephew. He was trying to find out if any of his U.S. family members were still alive. He and his family had been relocated to Siberia in the 1940s. After the fall the the Berlin Wall, he and his wife, his children, and his grandchildren all immigrated to Germany, settling in Berlin. That began a series of letters between us where he gave me vital information about all of his family members. Later, we were able to facilitate a meeting between him and his Wisconsin cousin in Germany.
Related to my interest in my Volga German ancestry, I have started Space:Schott_Name_Study. Schott is the German equivalent of Scott, but the Schott ancestors hadn't been to England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in centuries. Legend has it that the name originated with Catholic missionaries who made their way from Ireland to Scotland and then Germany. I would love to prove or disprove that legend. My Schott ancestors were originally Catholic but became Lutherans when they immigrated to Russia, although the reason behind that decision is not clear.
My interests are varied, but I have a special place in my heart for Germans from the Village of Grimm in Russia. I am also trying to track down information about my husband's family, originally from Sicily. I look forward to joining small projects here and contributing to the WikiTree community.

My father’s father passed away in a tragic car accident when my dad was only 4. We know very little about his father’s side of the family. I know my father’s father’s information and his parents’ information. My father was born Donald Kroh to his father, Walter Kroh. Walter Kroh’s father was a man named Johann George Groh/Grohe (changed to Kroh when came to America). He was born January 18, 1886 in Grimm, Russia. He died Feb 5, 1944 in Denver, Colorado. I have a photo of the tombstone showing these dates (he was buried with his wife, Eva Kroh. He went by George Kroh in the US). My grandmother was very into genealogy and her research Indicated that Johann George’s father’s name was George. We know that his family was German and moved to Grimm, Russia. We know his family has ties to Prussia, Germany and Russia. I went on familysearch and I put in my grandfather and great grandfather’s information and was told they believe they know who Johann George’s father was and it connected to a tree that goes back all the way to the 1500’s!!!! So I am wondering how I can get confirmation on how to find out the name of my great great grandfather so that I can confirm this is in fact my tree. Family search believes Johann’s dad was named George Konrad Groh (born about 1843 and died about 1895). Any assistance would be so appreciated as my dad was adopted by his stepdad and it would mean so much to learn more about his biological father’s side of the family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥺. Also, it would help a lot of people as Johann George had ten kids - my grandfather Walter being one of them.Your information is different, but close in dates.

As you are a member of Volga Germans, a subproject of Germany Project, I awarded you a Germany Project member badge. I did this in an effort to reconcile the Germany Project's membership roster. If you no longer wish to participate in Volga Germans, let me know and I'll remove both badges.
Thanks! Traci ~co-leader Germany Project
I am greatly impressed with the quantity and quality of your efforts on the profiles of Ahasuerus Turk (1742-abt.1806) and Magdalena (vanSeijst) Turk (abt.1745-bef.1784).
I definitely agree that the profiles for Magdalena need to be merged, but I was not sure WikiTree had a good handle on her LNAB, so I put PPP on all three profiles temporarily to allow for that to be sorted out before so many profiles get merged (all too often a merge gets completed toward a name that nobody is happy with, so more merges are needed).
While looking for records of Magdalena's origins I found a 1935 NYGBR article by William Hoffman (one of the revered names of New York and New Netherland research in the past century) in which he reproduced the contents (in Dutch language) of a family Bible record started by Ahasuerus Turk (1697-1774) and continued by his son of the same name. I think it fills in some of the blanks and answers some of your questions with regard to this family (but of course it also probably creates new mysteries). I assume that this family Bible is the source for some information we have seen in derivative sources, but could not find elsewhere. I have been entering information in the profiles, and removing some of your notes when I was rather sure I had reconciled seemingly incongruous information, but I expect that you will dispute some of what I am doing. Please feel free to tell me I have messed up!
Some interesting items in the Bible record that I have not yet tackled:
Please note that the Netherlands archives that you have used as sources are not original sources for the records for these people. The Dutch government had nothing to do with creating their records. These people lived in New York, not the Netherlands, and Dutch control of New Netherland had ended much earlier. The records of their life events were created in New York, mostly in churches. Our best accessible sources for these records are transcriptions made by historians and genealogists, mostly in the 19th and 20th centuries, and published by the Holland Society of New York and others. The Dutch archives have copied some of the records into their online databases and made them available online. Their databases are wonderfully searchable, but the databases and the data formats should not be confused with the original records.
