Stöhr (Volmer)*

Michael Stöhr (age 28) a single farmer, is recorded on a list of colonists dated 23 September 1765 who were gathering in the town of Worms. He had arrived in Worms on 4 September 1765.

Michael Stöhr, a farmer, and his [new] wife Katharina settled in the Volga German colony of Volmer on 18 July 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 34.

The 1765 Worms list records that Michael Stöhr came from the German village of Kirrweiler. The 1767 census records that Michael Stöhr came from the German village of Kemel [perhaps Maikammer] in the Kurpfalz region.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Stöhr family among the Volga German colonies.
