“…The exciting news is that one afternoon, a Mr. Batt, formerly from FRANK and now residing in Germany presented me with an outstanding map of FRANK. It identifies every resident of FRANK from 1767 to 1941 by name and location. The map is very professional. I believe that Mr. Batt was an engineer at one time. I have sent the map to Lincoln to have it reproduced and made available for sale to the AHSGR membership. It was the request of Mr. Batt-- who would not take any money for the map—to have it made available to our AHSGR membership….”
…this village map (Map #55) is now available from AHSGR in Lincoln, NE... Please write to: AHSGR, 631 D. Street, Lincoln, NE. 69502-1199.
According to the AHSGR Newsletter, the #55 FRANK Village Map was drawn by Heinrich Batt of Germany, and it shows who was living in each homestead as of August 1941. The newsletter goes on to say that this new map is much more thorough than the other FRANK Map #19 which depicted the village at the turn of the century.

Family Names – Clues (1)
AHSGR, Clues, 1979 Edition
Names of Families Residing in the Volga Villages
Submitted by Gerda S. Walker with additions by Arthur E. Flegel
(Excerpts)
(Page 70)
The 1978 issue of Clues listed families and other pertinent information about 27 Volga villages. We were pleased to receive favorable comment and additions from our members who found this material helpful in their research.
Following is a continuation of this project…. We plan to continue with further listings for villages from all areas as they become available.
BALZER (Rssn. names: Pancyr; Balakowo; Golyj Karamysch) Kanton: Balzer
Balzer was a Lutheran village established 1765 with 479 in habitants. Located on the west side of the Volga river (Bergseite) in the C-4 quadrant on the Stumpp map #6.
These family names for Balzer were published in Die Welt Post, 19 Oct. 1939. Jacob Volz collected the history of Balzer when he was a member of the Volga Relief Society dlegation which administered relief work among the Volga colonies in 1922-1923. Lists of the original colonist to Balzer may be found in the Emigration from Germany to Russia in the Years 1763-1862, by Dr. Karl Stumpp and in The Czar’s Germans by Hattie Plum Williams.
(MY NOTES: This is in no way a complete list. The following contains only names which may pertain to known relatives. I will expand this list later on, need be.).

BRUNNENTAL (Rssn. name: Kriwoijar) Kanton: Seelmann
Burrnental was founded in 1855 by Evangelical colonists who came from overcrowded mother colonies to the new land granted by the Crown to the German colonists. It is located on the east side of the Volga river (Wiesenseite) in the Kanton of Seelmann, Samara district. Located in the D-5 quadrant on the Stumpp map #6.
These surnames are found in a history of Brunnental by the Rev. John Block, Die Welt Post, 22 Rebruary 1940, and in AHSGR records.
Rev. Block wrote that “all settlers to Brunnental came from mother colonies on the Bergseite (west side) of the Volga, Saratov district. The main colonies were Frank, Norka, Kolb and Walter, also Huck. An especially large group came from Frank.
3. Becker (Kolb)
This additional list of names for Brunnental was compiled by the late Rev. Elias Hergert in the 1930’s.

DEHLER (Rssn. name: Beresowka) Kanton: Kukkus.
Dehler (Deller) was founded 1 July 1767 by 55 Roman Catholic families from southwestern German lands. There were 85 males and 86 females under the direction of LeRoy an dPictet. Located near the brook Beresowi on the Wiesenseite of the Volga river, in the C-4 quadarant on the Stumpp map #6/
A history and map of Dehler may be found on page 74 of the 1966 Heimatbuch, Landmannschaft der Deutschen aus Russland, Stuttgart O, Diemerhaldenstr. 48. The history is written by a former resident of Dehler, Dr. M. Hagin. Dr. Hagin states that the names Chevalier, Martell, Masson and Hagin were of French extraction.

DIETEL/DITTEL (Russn. Name: Oleschna.) Kanton: Frank.
Founded by the Evangelicals. Located on the Bergseite in the B-5 quadrant on the Stumpp map #6.
These family names were known in the village around 1900 – 1923. The list is a combination of names extracted from letters written by Pastor A. Möllmann, of Dittel, to Mr. Jacob Weber of Lincoln, Nebraska concerning the Volga Relief packages sent to Dittle in 1922-23 and a list of family names by the mother of Mr. Richard K. Lackman of Moorhead, Minnesota. It is interesting to note that Pastor Möllmann and the village clerk always wrote “Dittel” while those in the United States spelled the name “Dietel”. We wish to thank Mrs. Victor Weber of Lincoln, Nebraska for allowing us to use the Möllmann letters sent to her father-in-law.
