Census Records

The following is a list of known resources available for census information for the village of Frank:

Einwanderung in das Wolgagebiet 1764-1767 Vol. I (Frank - First Settlers' List)
1798 Census Revision
Frank: A German Colony on the Volga (contains a compliation of 1798, 1811, 1819, 1834, 1850, and 1858 census revisions)

Please take note of the following corrections to the Census material from the book "Frank: A German Colony on the Volga" by Dr. Igor R. Pleve

1. page 18: ECKERT, Johann Heinrich age 12 in 1798. There was a clarification of this lineage from Dr. Pleve on 31 May 1998. "As for Johann Heinrich Eckert, the mistake was ours. In the families' record lists of 1798 the last name of Johann Heinrich was written down not distinctly. And only now, working with church books, we clarified that it was Johann Heinrich Ebel who had lived in Kratzke colony. Once again, we beg your pardon for the inaccuracy in the published materials. -- Igor Pleve"

2. page 83: LEBRECHT (GIRSCH) [?], August, age 52 in 1798. The Hirsch Ancestral Chart by Dr. Igor Pleve, commissioned by Richard Hirsch, confirms that this was August Lebrecht HIRSCH and not August Lebrecht. This is also confirmed by the Frick Ancestral Chart (Andreas Frick, married (2) Catharina Hirsch nee Grunewald, b. 1772, d. bef 1934.) The 1798 Frank Census also has August Lebrecht.
