Hi,
I'm home now and have more info. The furthest back I have my Zahn line traced is
Christian Zahn. He was born May 1, 1809 in Bayem, Germany and died in Beresina,
Bessarabia, South Russia in 1832. He married Rosina Mueck/Muk in 1823 in Klostitz. He
left two sons, Martin and Johann. Rosina remarried Gottlieb Goehring and had a large
family after Christian Zahn died. Their son, Martin married Margaretha Nill in 1849 in
Beresina and they had a large family. Theri son Johann married Eva Jerke and they died in
Beresina. Martin's son Samuel (my great great grandfather) moved to Ashley, McIntosh
County, North Dakota where he died in 1920. Martin and Margaretha's family consisted
of Gottlieb, Johann, Christian, Jacob, Adam, Matthaus, Rosina, Gottlieb, Augustine,
Samuel, Martin, Gottfried, and Sara. The only one that I know what happened to is
Rosina...she married Gottlieb Nitschke and ended up in Texas. Her brother Johann married
Frederika Kogel, and Sara married Jakob !
Hermann and lived in Beresina. After my great great grandfather died, his wife, Maria
Schmierer Zahn, took the family to live in Elkton, Maryland where a number of descendents
are today. The older kids stayed behind in North Dakota. That's about all I know.
I've never been able to link them to other Zahn families but figure they must be
linked somewhere down the line.
