Discussion & Documentation
Heinrich Weidemann, a tailor (Schneider), his wife Appolonia, and his sister Dorothea (age 11) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Kaneau in Household No. 4 along with a note that they settled in the colony of Hockerberg in 1768.
The 1767 census records that Heinrich Weidemann came from the German village of Hetzbach.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Weidemann family among the Volga German colonies.
