My ancestors left Russia May 30, 1874
June 2, 1874 they left by boat stayed over in Hamburg
where several groups separated some to Kanas
some to Canada.
My ancestors left via boat to the North Sea taking them to Quebec
then by rail to Montreal changing trains in Toronto and again for
Lake Superior. Boarded a boat for Duluth Minnesota, to the river
port Moorhead on the Red River. The steamer landed them in Manitoba Canada
on August 1, 1874.
My great great greatgreat grandfather was from Holland and then moved to
Oldense Germany in 1546 because of religious persecutions.
Then the persecutions arose again and they spread out to Prussia
Between 1786 and 1789 they moved to Russia
My 3x great grandfather Heinrich Esau was born in 1740 in Heuboden
Free State West Prussia.
2x great grandfather Gerhard Esau was born 1765 Heuboden Free State Danzig
Then they lived in Mouriengroblin, of Danzig, West Prussia.
1x great grandfather Heinrich Esau was born December 30, 1792 in Mouriengroblin
I found no record in my book of Diedrich Esau
He was probably one of them that separated from their group.
