Discussion & Documentation:
Daniel Berschauer and his family settled in the Volga German colony of Kratzke on 7 August 1766. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 4.
The surname is erroneously recorded as Burgardt on the 1767 census as well as the 1798 census. However, thereafter, the children of this family are recorded clearly as Berschauer.
