Fragebogen for the Ernst Peglau Family This document for the Ernst Peglau family was obtained by W. Köllner from the Bundesarchiv in Berlin in very poor condition. The writing is very faint and difficult to read accurately, sometimes illegible because of the poor quality. It was dated March 21, 1940, without a signature or the mark of Ernst Peglau. The information, where legible, is transcribed below:
Einwohnerlist - Kolonie Kurgany 1939
The collection was created in the order in which the residents had lived in the colony. The village belonged to the Berezne district parish office and the Kostopol Protestant parish. Others were reportedly living in the colony of 36 German families with 25 school children. The Protestant cantor was vacant and there was a Polish public school.
Ortsplan and Einwohnerlist - Kolonie Kurgany 1939 Hans Altwasser listed on property #3 above, in all probability, is Karl Altwasser married to Emelie Muth; Ludwig Lutzer, married to Olga Altwasser, is listed on property #11; Adolf Krüger, married to Julianna Altwasser, is listed on property #15; Property #6 could be the home of Julius Renwrantz and his wife Ernestine Altwasser.
The list above was created in 1990 from the memories of Gustav Lutzer. The Ortsplan shows the village layout with the names of the families as he remembered them. The Ernst Peglau family, owning 10.5 Desjatinen of land, must be at one of the six question marks.
