My question to them was to help me locate Neudorf and Worms under their modern names. As a result of their efforts, the Modovian student referred me to this website. My grandmother, Magdalena (Bentz) Gall was born in Neudorf. Her mother was a Kirschenmann and died in Neudorf. Her sister married Magdalena Bentz's father and they immigrated to South Dakota and ended up settling near Fairfax, Gregory County, South Dakota. My computer is down right now so I am unable to provide better names but should have that back in operation soon. I would welcome any communications of Neudorf or Worms (Magdalena's future husband, Bahtlazar James Gall was born in Worms) at .

I am just getting back into researching my family history after a break of many years. Started up again in November and have been mainly concentrating on my Grandmother on my Fathers side of the family as there is quite a bit of documentation from various sources on them (Eisenbraun) originally from Geradstetten Wuertemburg then many moved to the Crimea from 1804 on and later to the US. Have gotten a lot of the known history entered and will soon start doing research on that. Had to take a break so was looking into my Grandfather on my Fathers side (again) and found where my GreatGrandmother (Johanna Zuern - Jun 1851) was possibly born in Glueckstal and did already know that my Great Grand Father (Jacob Litzo - 28 Dec 1852) was born in Bergdorf.. Using dates and information off of census I have determined they were married in 1872-1873. and had several children before coming to the US in 1889. Any suggestions as to how I can find more information on any Zuern families from Glueckstal or Litzo families either. The information I ran across on Johanna shows her father as Johann Gerog Zuern 1811(Adolzfurt, Bretzfeld, Wuerttemberg)-1883(Bergdorf) and mother as Barbara Ehresmann (no history). Thanks for any help you or anyone who sees this can give me. My e-mail is plitzo@aol.com. Once again loved seeing and hearing about your trip. Maybe one day I can do the same. Also saw in your list of names Hutt - one of the Eisenbraun daughters - Beata or Berta (1776) married Gottlieb Hutt (1776-77) both of Weiler, Württemberg married C1796 - have not totally documented how I am related there but am also working on that. Would this be any relation to you from way back when? History is a big jigsaw puzzle and have loved both since I was extremely young. Enjoyed the photos and story of your trip very much.

Where have you looked for your family information? My relatives also came from Hoffnungstal and Neu Elft. In fact, I think there were some Kleingartner and Schott intermarriages, though not in my direct line. But I've got the Albert Eisenbeiss book on Hoffnungstal (GREAT resource!) and I'd be happy to look up something for you on your Kleingartners if you tell me what you're looking for.

My sister and two aunts did the NDSU tour of the Ukraine in 2011. My mother was the oldest and my Aunt Darlene was the youngest of 14 children born to Emanuel and Ottila Kleingartner. Darlene is closer to my age than my Mom's. My Aunt Dorthey has been very involved in the German's from Russia Group in Mpls., MN. with her Spanish husband who was born in Bolivia. He was the president for a while (Rubin Soruco). Our family came from Hoffnungstal, Klostnitz, Neu Elft and Paris. Aunt Darlene taught me to eat sunflowers when I was five years old. My children all ate sunflowers in the car all the way to North Dakota every summer when I drove the 1,200 miles one way. I taught school so I was free while my husband worked. Nick says he keeps a stash in his desk at his office. He is now 31 and lives in Santa Rosa CA. My oldest son, Tony, lives in Seattle with his wife and 1 1/2 year old. We love Seattle and Santa Rosa, so seldom go back to the Dakotas, BUT WE STILL EAT SUNFLOWER SEEDS.

My wife's family (Wiederrich) now Wiederick were definitely from Neudorf. I have traced them back to Alsace, France in the 1600's. Left Neudorf in 1874 for South Dakota via Ellis Island. Eventually ended up in Alberta, Canada. I enjoyed your pictures of Neudorf. My wife’s family (Wiederrich) now Wiederick were definitely from Neudorf.

Like others, I found your page when I googled "Neudorf"--my great grandfather, Johann Hoffer, was born in Neudorf in 1884 to Johann & Karolina (Schauer) Hoffer. Your blog entry brought the village to life. Carolyn, thank you for sharing your trip and pictures!
