I'm trying to make a connection with my Duerksen line. My ancestral background is Mennonite and they came from Holland, my great,great,greatgrandfather was John (Johann) Duerksen possibly son for Johann Cornelius Duerksen. I need to find the Tragheimerweide Mennonite Church records in Prussia and the 1835 census of Molotschna Colony in South Russia. My grandfather was Abraham T. Duerksen m. Marie Willems, Marion, SD; greatgrandparents were Abraham and Sarah Tieszen Duerksen, great great grandparents were Abraham and Elizabeth Buller Dirkson(Duerksen). If anybody could shed some light and give me some information sure would appreciate. Abraham and Sarah, Abraham and Elizabeth and Abraham and Marie all died in Marion, SD and were Mennonites.
