Census of Chortitza Colony, Merged 1801 & 1802 (Database)
| GEDCOM Files . . .
There are two versions of this merged 1801-1802 Chortitza Colony
census database. One contains the original census data in which
the names are spelled exactly as they appear in the census, except
that the umlauts have been converted. The other is a modified
version in which some surnames such as Pauels and Vriesen and
some given names have been converted to more generally accepted
forms. Each of these databases is available as a gedcom file that
may be downloaded. To search the gedcom files most effectively
I suggest researchers import the gedcom files into the Brothers
Keeper program and conduct searches using the name codes as found
in GRANDMA database. Researchers interested in conducting
the most comprehensive review of the Chortitza Colony residents
in 1801 and 1802 should download and search either of these gedcom
files first.

Extracted by Tim Janzen
I have created a merged database of all of the available 1801 and 1802
Chortitza Colony census data that contains 1,828 people taken from the
following sources:
- 1,665 people listed in the September 1, 1801
Chortitza Colony census
- 57 people listed in the October
15, 1801 Kronsgarten census
- 40 other people who are included only in the April
25, 1801 list of single people and families who were not landowners
- 13 people listed only in the
1802 Neuenburg census found in File #98
- 31 people listed only in the 1802 Neuendorf census previously published
by B. H. Unruh
- 14 people listed in other villages in additional unpublished portions
of the 1802 Chortitza Colony census.
- 8 people who were not listed in the 1801 or 1802 censuses themselves,
but were referred to, usually as deceased heads of households.
In the gedcom files I have given children the surname of the head of
the household unless children were designated as stepchildren in the
census, even if it may be inferred from the ages of the head of the
household and the ages of the children that he was clearly not the father
of the older children. I have added the village and household number
where each person was listed in the census in the immigration location
field.
If you have any questions about any of this data feel free to contact
me.
