NEU-OBERMUNJOU, RUSSIA
Neu-Obermunjor was started on or about 1859 to provide additional farmland for young couples from the colony of Obermunjou, Russia. In 1859 this colony had a population of some 1053 souls. When doing research on this colony I asked Dr. Pleve to send me a list of the the surnames that settled in that colony. Below is that list.
