Grein

There are two Grein families that settled in the Volga German colony of Semenovka on 24 July 1767. Their relationship to each other, if any, needs further research.

(1) Johann Konrad Grein, a farmer, his wife Barbara, and children (Johann Heinrich, age 19; Katharina, age 17; Margaretha, age 14) are recorded on the 1767 census of Semenovka in Household No. 43. The 1767 census records that Johann Konrad Grein came from the German village of Langen in the Darmstadt region.

(2) Orphan Johann Adam Grein (age 12), son of the deceased Heinrich Adam Grein, is recorded on the 1767 census of Semenovka in Household No. 5 along with the Heinrich Keberlein family. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Grein and Keberlein families.
