I am researching my grandmother, Sabina Seib, who was born in 1865 in Kraft, Russia. The Seib name appears on the first census taken in Kraft in the late 1790's. The family was one of the first settlers from Germany in that area after Catherine the Great opened it up for settlement. Sabina married John Henry Manweiler and they came to Canada in 1900, then moved to Colorado in 1903.
There is information that her father was Conrad Seib and that she had a brother, George, who was born in 1866 and moved to Bayard?? Nebraska. I don't know if this is correct or not.
If anyone has any information it would really be appreciated. Thanks!
