Gorodok & Belovesh of the Chernigov

[jlarnoldsr]

My family line where founders of the German colony of Belowesch of the Tschernigow in 1767. Surnames include Arnold, Holderbein, Seel, and Dell. I am looking for birth, death, marriage, and census records for the years 1807 - 1878 for the villages of Gorodok and Belowesch primarily for the surname Arnold, and secondarily for Holderbein, Dell, and Seel. Any information for the same surnames for the village of Kronenthal of the Stavropol district in the North Caucasus for the years 1878 - 1911 would also be of great interest. Please respond to josephlarnoldsr@comcast.net

Daughter Colonies of the Belowesch
In 1802 the first daughter colony, Kreschtschatick (Kreschatten) was founded seventy versts east of the Belowesch colonies. The population grew so rapidly that in 1831, a group of 131 families founded 5 new villages in the Mariupol district which were named after the mother colonies (Belowesch, Gross-Werder, Kaltschinowka, Klein-Werder, and Rundewiese). In 1861 another group went to the Crimea and founded the village of Byten and in 1878 the village of Deutsch-Chaginsk was founded in the North Caucasus. At the turn of the century, forty families went to the Turgai region east of Orenberg to found a settlement there.
