.Germans From Russia Living in the Dakotas
German citizens who immigrated to Russia and then immigrated
to the United States
By Coleen (Walker)
Mielke
I've been able to find my Walcker family in the 1744 church records
for
Steinheim,Marbach, Württemberg, Germany.
They immigrated from Germany to Neu-Freudenthal, Russia
in 1817
and immigrated from Russia to McPherson County, South
Dakota in 1885.
My OPP family originated in Rockenhausen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.
I have found
them in the earliest films available for that area (1692). They
left Rockenhausen, Germany
in 1784 and settled in Tscherwenka, Hungary until 1805, when
they continued their
journey on to Glueckstal, Russia. In 1884, they immigrated
to America, settling in McPherson County
South Dakota. All of my paternal grandparents (Walkers and Opps)
are buried
in Ashley, McIntosh County North Dakota.
My
Paternal grandparents: Jacob & Rosina (Opp) Walker in 1915 with
their children:
(left to right) Welentina (b.1915), Leah (b.1913), Adolph (b.
1909),
Pauline (b. 1906) and in back is Samuel Walker (b. 1899)
My grandfather,Jacob Walker (b.1873 Neu Freudenthal) is the
son of Jakob Walcker and Magdalena Hoffman...
Rosina Opp, my grandmother (b.1880 Glueckstal) is the daughter
of Daniel F. Opp and Magdalena Klein.
Jacob and Rosina Walker farmed in the Eureka and Long Lake area
for many years
before they retired to Ashley, North Dakota, where they are
buried.
My grandparents were very proud people, perhaps that is why
they never learned to speak English
(they spoke the Schwäbisch German dialect). Perhaps it
was their way of holding on to Germany.
German Russian names that I am researching:
My (direct line) family names are Walcker, Klein, Opp, Eberle,
Renschler, Wolf, Brandner, Bentz and Hoffman.
Other branches I've researched are: Bauer, Beck,Bertsch, Bieber,

A Note about myself:
My husband and I were born in Alaska. I've been researching
my family (as well as my husbands family) tree for 25+ years. It
is a hobby that I find very rewarding and I love helping people solve
genealogy puzzles.
Because my grandparents were not born in the United States (my paternal grandparents were born in Russia and my mother & maternal grandparents were born in England), I did not have the pleasure of being raised near grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins. Maybe that is the reason I feel so compelled to learn all I can about them, where they came from, why they came to America and how I fit in with those facts.
There
are nearly 9,500 surnames in my family genealogy, however, I've
only included
names through approximately 1975 on this web page for privacy
reasons.
These
pages are dedicated to my parents and grandparents pioneering
spirit,
their strength and sense of adventure.
