2nd cousins - Carol Rohr Malecki and Mark Dreiling
We were discussing our German-Russian great grandmother who emigrated to Ellis County in 1876.
Her father is thought to have been a captured soldier (Joseph Prewo} from Napoleon's 1812
army who was among the 181 sent to the German settlements in Volga area around Saratov.
Mark's old aunts would say that any misbehavior or craziness in the family was due to that 'French blood'.
