Family Tree
Lineage,
or pedigree, is defined as a group of individuals tracing
descent from a common ancestor, especially such a group of
persons whose common ancestor is regarded as its founder.
Information in this section includes the Denning and Dreiling
lineage charts (family trees), and some additional supportive
information.
Descendants of John
and Margaret Denning are invited to begin building their own
lineage charts using those provided as a starting point. Be
sure to also review our history,
which contains substantial, text-oriented information on the
Volga Germans and the Denning-Dreiling clans.

Denning Family Tree
Information about the Dreilings
is taken from a document believed to be prepared by
Max Denning (son of John and Margaret Denning) in the
1980s or 1990s. The information is largely unchanged
from the original document provided. Refer to the lineage
charts to connect to the people and places mentioned.
The following information is taken
from the 1798 census of Louis, Russia, the 1798 census
of Herzog, Russia, and the 1798 census of Mariental,
Russia. Also, valuable information was obtained from
the "Die Herzoger," 1876 to 1986.
The 1798 census of Louis, Russia
indicates that Martin (born 1721) Denning and family
moved to Susly (Herzog) in 1798 from Louis.
"I do not know where the Denning
family originated Europe as Martin Denning settled
in Louis. We do not have the Louis record of origin
in Europe. We do have such a record from Herzog, Graf
and Katharinenstadt, however."
Editor:
The photocopy chart provided seems to indicate that
Martin Denning (born 1721) had three children with Anna
Maria Mauer (born 1731). They are Johannes (born 1764),
Michael (born 1768) and Katrina (born 1769). Johannes
has direct lineage to our John J. Denning (born 1891).
Perhaps other family members will be able to provide
additional and more definitive information about our
lineage.

Dreiling Family Tree
Information about the Dreilings
is taken from a document believed to be prepared by
Max Denning (son of John and Margaret Denning) in the
1980s or 1990s. The information is largely unchanged
form the original document provided. Refer to the lineage
charts to connect to the people and places mentioned.
On August 4, 1996, Oren Windholz received
the following email transmission from Dr. Igor Pleve,
archivist in Saratov, Russia, after I had requested
Oren to find out if we could learn the home of origin
of the Dreilings, who we know had settled Louis Russia
in 1766 before they moved to Herzog sometime before
1798.
From the archivist:
"Frank Dreiling,
30, a catholic, a ploughman, arrived at the Luis (Louis)
colony on 14 of June, 1766 with his wife Barbara -
age 27 and his Johannes age 2, from Wuerzburg, Karlstadt,
Germany. To settle down in the new place he received
from the Russian government 150 rubles. In 1768 in
his household were 3 horses and 3 cows."
From the AHSGR:
From the 1798 census of Herzog, Russia, obtained
by the American Historical Society of Germans From
Russia (AHSGR) in Lincoln, Nebraska - from St. Petersburg,
we learn about John Dreiling I and his wife Anna M.
Vosler and about his soon Johan Dreiling II. Father
Michael Dreiling also gave valuable information.
In 1766, Wuerzburg was a Bishopric
(a small principality) and Karlstadt was a small town
in the Bishopric. Today, they both are cities in Northwest
Bavaria.
We owe Oren Windholz a debt of gratitude
for making the contact for us with email.
