Thank you Sincerely,

The American Historical Society of Germans from Russia http://www.ahsgr.org will almost certainly be of help to you in tracing family back further. Your great grandfather is on the list at http://ahsgr.org/FindAncestors/gedlist/E-Eckhard.htm where I see at least one other Eberle in the Saratov region going back to 1827.

They can also put you in touch with other members who have been doing research on that line.

Thank you Jerry..... I just bought a membership yesterday - hoping some of the documentation on soars would help. Do you know who in particular I would contact? Thank you for your help
Sincerely,
Kathy Eberle

I'm sorry but my primary interests are Germans in other parts of Russia, not the Volga River region so I am not a member.

There must be a general office contact address on the website. Once they sort through your info, they may direct you to a village coordinator who serves your specific locality.

Just recieved my great grandfathers (Nicholas/ Nikolaus Eberle) death cirtificate today thinking - It would show who my great great grandfather is.. but no luck.

Hoping that someone out there might have access to Russian records. Marienthal births? Nikolaus was born 8-15-1842.

Perhaps my great grandfather birth record would show who his father is?
So I can find out Who is my great great grandfather.

Thank you
Kathy Eberle

There is a village coordinator for Marienthal with contact info on this list http://ahsgr.org/Villages/village_coordinators.htm

They may be able to advise what sort of records are available and how to get them.

Update....
I received a copy of Nicolaus Eberle birth certificate from Mila Koretnikova who went through the Russian Archives. Found it in the 1843 Marienthal, Russia book. July 30th 1843 (Year 1 year off than what we have here in Hays, Kansas as being official year born Aug 15, 1842)
Its in Latin - and Something I never knew! Eberle is short for Eberlein. Nicolaus Eberlein parents: Mathier (Matthias) Eberlein & Catherine Kinderknecht. Witness listed were Nicolaus Kinderknecht & Margaritha Herrmann.
Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction - otherwise I would of never found what I was looking for!!!

Thank you to Mila Koretnikova.....
She has found not only Nicolaus Eberle birth certificate but his marriage license to Eva Goetz plus 4 of his siblings
and his parents!!!!!!!!!!!
