Mother's pedigree: Breder from Darstadt, Bavaria, Germany

It’s me at the top, on the right. I'm a little more than 7 years old there. Behind me was at that time my move from Sakhalin island, Russia, where I was born in 1951, to Kazakhstan in 1956. I don't remember how much time our family spent on this trip, but probably not more than two weeks.

But it's nothing compared to what two of my ancestors went through with their parents in 1766: Eva Margareta Herget (27.12.1761, Böhl, Germany), my five times great-grandmother on the paternal side, and Maria Margaretha Breder (04.10.1761, Darstadt, Bavaria, Germany), my four times great-grandmother on the maternal side, who at the age of five not only left their home country, Germany, but shared with parents all the difficulties and sufferings  on the way to Russia.

My ancestor Michael Breder and his family arrived from Lubeck, Germany in Oranienbaum (now Lomonosov, Leningrad region, Russia) on July 4, 1766, but reached Seelmann / Rownaya, near Saratov only on the 2 of August, 1767.
