Augusta Birr (21626472)
Suggested edit: Augusta Zielke's father appears to have come from Dennewitz, today called Pryamobalka, in the Odessa Oblast, Ukraine. The town was founded by Germans and was a daughter colony in Bessarabia founded by 15 families from other Bessarabian colonies, e.g. Alt Posttal, Wittenberg and Kulm. Some also came from Grunbach in Wuerttemberg, Baden, Germany, and Poland. Dennewitz was an offshoot of the mother colony Teplitz, but first named Hamburg, for the people who owned the land. The government changed the name in memory of the victory over Napoleon in Dennewitz, Prussia. There had been a large migration of Germans to Russian lands.
