I am wondering whether we might be related, my great ggfa. Abraham(Samuel)Schultz(1847-1922)and his wife, Elisabeth d/o Peter and Helena (?)Voth/Foth/Fhothe (1849-1924), came to America from the village of Antanofka, Volhynia,Polish Russia. My paternal ancestors were Mennonites and all were from the Ostrog region either Antanofka or Karlswalde, which were abt. 15 miles apart.Heinrichsdorf, isn't that far away. I know nothing about Abraham's father, Samuel Schultz or his wife. Their desc. are many, and nothing is known of the our early Schultzes, or of any siblings Abraham might have had, and surely he did have some!He came in 1874,on the ship, Kenilworth to America, settled in McPherson County, KS and in1899,came to Meno,OK.He and his wife are buried in the New Hopedale Mennonite Cemetery. My impression is, that he was perhaps of Lutheran faith, and may have married a Mennonite girl.
