Muller Original Settlers List
from Bill Wiest
Bill Wiest
received the original settlers list for the village Mueller from Dr. Igor
Pleve and generously shared it with us. This document was translated from
the Russian by Rick Rye, formerly of the AHSGR staff in Lincoln. Rick shared several comments regarding· this document: .. The list is a 'Kuhlberg list' Ivan KUHLBERG was probably of German descent, a clerk in one of the 'collegium' established by Peter the Great. He seems to have been the chief clerk in the Oranienbaum office of immigration, the rough equivalent of our Ellis Island. According to Peter's orders/Iaws, at least 10 percent of the employees of each 'college' (we would call them 'ministries') had to be a foreigner, so it is most likely that KUHLBERG was one of them. "You will note that I have included possible names of villages in Germany. I used the 1996-96 Shell Atlas as my guide. Experience has shown that sometimes these Russian records are quite inaccurate, as you have already discovered. "I am not quite clear about the adopted male listed in family 29. The Russian word used here can mean 'frozen to death,' or escheat, a legal term for something remaining after an estate is settled. It might perhaps be best simply to say that his parents have died, as was indicated in family 10." |
