Discussion & Documentation:
Thomas Stetter [sic], a butcher (Fleischer), and his wife Anna settled in the Volga German colony of Hölzel on 11 September 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 55.
An unnamed [orphaned?] Stetter [sic] boy (age 15) is recorded on the 1798 census of Volmer in Household No. Vm01 along with the Brost family. The 1798 census does not record a relationship between the Brost and Stetter [sic] families.
The 1767 census records that Thomas Stetter came from the Austrian [valley] of Pustertal in the Tirol region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
