Gammel (Bangert)

There are two Gammel families that settled in the Volga German colony of Bangert on 1 July 1767. Their relationship to each other is not recorded, but they are believed to be mother and son.

(1) Antonia Gammel, widow of an unnamed farmer, and her sons (Wilhelm, age 12; Christoph, age 8) are recorded on the 1767 census of Bangert in Household No. 29.

Christoph Gammel is recorded on the 1798 census of Warenburg in Household No. Wr033.
