Welcome To This Site...
The Volga-German village of Josefstal was founded in 1852. It was part of the Roman Catholic Parish of Marienfeld, so both villages shared a Priest. In 1941, its inhabitants were exiled to labour camps in Siberia. The village ceased to exist in the early to mid-1960's. This web site is dedicated to the memory of the people of Josefstal.

Josefstal: Emmigration Passports
Posted By egerk on April 6, 2009
The List is made on the basis of documents on delivery of passports for travel abroad which were kept in the State archive of the Saratov Region (GASO), in Fond Number 1, Office of the Saratov Governor. The package of documents for delivery of passports for travel abroad often included extracts from lists with instructions of structure of families leaving (and that who remained) and exact dates of birth. Studying of these documents can help investigating and connect family tree branches. – Igor Pleve

Dr. Igor Pleve, noted Volga-German historian, has done a great service throughout the years with his careful historical scholarship, documenting the history of this forgotten people. One of his recent research projects has been the compilation of Volga-Germans who applied for passports to leave Russia. Available on-line are the results of his research, the names of passport applications, in Russian, for the years 1886, 1890-1892, 1900, 1906-1909, 1912 . The complete list is available here.
I’ve taken the list and made an excerpt for those coming from Josefstal. That list is available here. For now just the Russian version is available, I’ll have a translated version shortly.

That’s right! I’ve added the database…with links to the Volga villages of Josefstal, Koehler, Semenowka, Marienfeld, and others. Over 5000 names! Feedback would be appreciated!
Church in Josefstal
Posted By egerk on February 25, 2009
Josefstal residents built a new Church in 1904, under the direction of Father A. Oks. Josefstal shared a priest with Marienfeld, and was part of that parish. Mass would be alternated between both villages.

Josefstal: 1939
Posted By egerk on November 21, 2008
This house belonged to a member of the Gerk family, until it was taken away by communist officials. 2 years later all Josefstal residents would be deported to Siberia.
