Hi Marie Schmalz,

There are two Josefstals/Josephstals. One in Grossliebenthal, Odessa, and the other in the Volga area. The German Russia Heritage Society has the most information about the Grossliebenthal, Odessa area and sstanger 1 gave you the link to the Josephstal, Volga website. The American Historical Society of German Russians also has Volga family research.

Some of my Leibels married Schmalzs/Schmaltzs. Josef Schmalz and his family were Catholics from Kandel, Kutschurgan, Odessa, Russia and emigrated to North Dakota, USA and then to the Beiseker area near Calgary, Alberta. Butch gave you the link to find the local history book for that Schmaltz family.

Enjoy your Genealogy Research!

Dear Marie:
My name is Larry Schmaltz. My grandfather was Andrew Schmaltz. He came from Marienberg in Russia. I know his brother Anthony (Anton) lived in Colorado but I never met his family. My father, Charles John Schmaltz went to a family reunion in Colorado back around 1963. My younger sister, Carolyn was there and met families with the name of Scheetz at the reunion. She kept up with a daughter Loretta for many years.
My grandfather settled in Gallup, NM. He spelled his name with a "T" and his brother spelled it without the "T".
My dad's family moved to Oregon when I was a baby. I was not around my grandfather much and therefore did not get to learn much family history from him. I have just been trying to piece things together and always looking for new information.
Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry. My name is Valerie Schmalz and my husband is Donald Frederick Schmalz. Fred and I live in Gunnison, CO and own Schmalz Construction. vschmalz@hotmail.com. My father-in-law Don(deceased)father was Anton (Tony) Schmalz who lived outside Delta, CO (Olathe). Grandpa came to the US with his father, Anton from Mariensberg, Russia. Grandpa was married to Mollie SCHMALTZ. Her family was from Gallup.I know she had a brother who lived in Pueblo and extended family still in Gallup. Think Grandma and Grandpa both came from the same area in Russia, along the Volga. We are interested in any information you might have.
