I have a Jacob ESAU who married an Anna DAHLKE. They lived in the Mo;otschna Colony in S. Russia which is now the Ukraine. They had the following children " John Jacob, Cornelius,Peter,Frank, Heinrich, Jack and Mary. Five of the chiildren were born in Russia. Jacob was my grandfather. He and Peter put on their Letters of Intent that they were born in Fuerstenau and emigrated from Alexanderwhol, Molotschna Colony. They came to the US from Bremen to NY in 1884 aboard the Oder. They settled in Hampton, Hamilton Co.,NE and then most of them moved on to either College View,Lancaster Co., NE or Petersberg, Boone Co.,NE.Any info on this family is greatly app.
