I have been searching for many years for the ancestors of my great-grandmother, Carolina Stach, who was born near Odessa, Russia, about 1848.
Her parents were Phillipp Stach, born about 1820 in Karlstal, and Theresia Reichert, also from near Odessa, but in Karlstal/Shellenberg, which was in Bessarabia at that time. The picture becomes cloudy because my ancestors were Catholic and all the Stachs in Bessarabia were Protestantant. It is clear that all these earliest Stachs came fom Poland, according to the following source: Hopf's list of people emigrating Poland to Russia:
"Stach, Egryct (?) 1814 Powiedz/Posen/Dutchy of Warsaw Russia 634 5434276 with brother Carol August." In all the documents I have purchased from the Saratov, Russia, Catholic Diocese, no origin is given. The Stachs I am related to were from Württemberg, Germany, according to all the records. I have spent years searching records but have yet to solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
