Bessarabian Village Census

Dennewitz Bessarabia 1850 Village Census Index

This census is a product of a joint project between the Bessarabian Museum in Stuttgart Germany and GRHS.

The spellings of these surnames may be unconventional, so the user must be be careful when using this index so as not to miss relevant family data.

When you see a parenthesized house number such as "(nn)", this indicates that this family was not there in 1850 during the taking of the census. There are two common causes; either the family moved away ("abroad" or to another village), or all members had died prior to the census. The male family members were recorded even though the family members were no longer inhabitants at the time of the census.
