Rick S. Thomas - thomasrick@hq.optec.army.mil - wrote April 16, 1999: In Reply to: Younker/Junker 1850, Peterstal, Russia-Ukraine posted by Dean Junker on April 11, 1999:

There are records in Germany that can tell you when your ancestors migrated from Germany to the Ukraine. Many came from southern areas like Baden-Württemberg where in the 1700’s land was divided equally among all children. Within 2 or 3 generations people were so land poor they began looking elsewhere to settle. Also in 1732-4, there was a massive drought/crop failure causing thousands to seek resettlement in German settlements in the Ukraine, Russia, and Romania. There is good documentation of exit visas in Baden-Württemberg and you should be able to find your relatives to 1700 with a little bit of effort. You may want to check in the 6 book set of exits from Baden-Württemberg, I think by Burgert.

The author of "Peter Heydebrecht und seine Nachkommen" published in 1990 is Hermann Thiessen. His address is Breslauer Str. 3, D-3167 Burgdorf, Germany. Speaks of Preussen (Prussian) families b. 1760’s and later who ended up in Russia, then Kansas USA.
