[Included here are entries for Oldenburger; I list only parents and children, not possessions. Note: the revision/census lists are from 1807 and 1809, so some names appear twice. The ages given are not entirely reliable, or else some people didn't age at all in those two years and some got younger. References to other ## are in Stumpp.]

[Note: The names Iorich or Jorich or Iorch would be variations on Georg.]

[The following information is from the Grunau colonies, which list only "country of origin," and last names]

Grunau (the village), founded 1823, 29 families from the Elbing area [near Danzig].

Kaltschinowka, founded 1823, 26 families from Kaltschinowka b. Tschernigow.

[Elsewhere, Stumpp says that Kaltschinowka-Grunau was founded in 1832, which is true based on other information. The following lists the Grunau villages that were formed by people from the Belowesch-Ts colonies]

Belowesch, 1832, Pr, 26 families from Hesse [originally]

Kaltschinowka, 1832, Pr, 26 families

Rundewiese, 1832, Pr, 26 families, 29 from West-Pr. [This would conflict with other information in Stumpp's own book, which says that they came mostly from Hesse. Probably this means that 29 families from Danzig-Elbing moved to Rundewiese some time after it was founded.]
