Looking for info on the Esau family (Heinrich Esau 4/11/1869 - 1/6/1925 and his first wife Margareta Bergmann 4/20/1871 - 9/22/1907) who lived in a village called Gnadental, in the Molotschna Colony in Ukraine. Does anyone know who Heinrich's and Margareta's parents were?
Their daughter Anna Esau is my maternal grandmother. She married Gerhard Reimer 3/18/1928 in Gnadental. By 1929, they'd escaped Russia, and were in Harbin, China (Manchuria), and 8/13/30 arrived in the US, settling in California.
Does anyone have info on the other descendents of Heinrich Esau and his first wife Margareta Bergmann, or his second wife after Margareta died and he remarried and had 6 more children. What has become of them?
The names of Heinrich and Margareta's children are as follows:
- Margareta Esau 1896-1969 - married Kornelius Fast;
- Maria Esau 1897-? - married Franz Lowen;
- Heinrich Esau 1898-1958 - married Lena Berg;
- Jakob Esau 1899 - 1940's killed during WWII - married Agnes Teichrob;
- Helena Esau 1901-1976 - married Gerhard Warkentin
- Anna Esau 1903-1950 - married Gerhard Reimer
