"My father Jakob Dockter Sr. (1) is from Germany and was born 5 Feb 1794 in Elsass, in the colony Sessenheim (about three hours from Strasbourg).  Then he with his parents emigrated to Russia in 1808, and he settled with his parents in the colon Neudorf in South Russia, where he lived until he died...6 October 1876, and was 83 years, 7 months and 21 days old."

There is more.

Translated by Gregory R. Dockter

Note: I have many pictures of the Dockter Family taken from the Tappen, Eighty-Eight Years of Progress , 1878 - 1966 And some from the Streeter Book about the communities ...
