Pundani, Peter August

The Rev. Peter August Pundani, son of a customs official, was born on 13 May 1810 in Nyslot, Finland. He studied theology at the University of Dorpat and was an ordained Lutheran clergyman.

He served the congregation in the Volga German colony of Kukkus from 1836-1840, in Omsk (and surrounding congregations) from 1840-1847, and St. Catherine's parish in Kazan from 1848-1881.

He is possibly the brother of the Rev. Johann Pundani who served the congregation in Bettinger.

Pastor Pundani died 6 December 1885.
