Need to find birth record for Johannes Pfeifer in Crimea, Ukraine

Terry Lynn Koberstein

I have found this family in Baden, Steinmauern, Kutschurgan Colonies:

Wendelin Pfeifer (K8SR-7WM) with spouse Anna Marie Reis (KCX2-FPX) with these children Teresia, Johannes Michael, Vincentius and Valentin. However there are marginal notes on the birth records given in the sources for three of these children that they migrated to Crimea, Ukraine (Russia). Family search has three other children noted (Joseph, Ignaz and Johannes) with no sources. However since the migration marginal note says they went in 1808, I believe they were born in Crimea. I cannot find Catholic records for this area. Is anyone aware of where I might find them for the years 1808, 1812, and/or 1815? So much appreciate any help. Thanks.

You may have already found the site below. It lists a Bob Schuh as a "Village Coordinator " for the Baden, Kutschurgan Colony for the Germans from Russia Heritage Society. You might try contacting him to see if there are any records detailing where in Crimea each family went.

This website also has "Letters written by our ancestors that lived in the

Crimea/Taurien, Russia". I didn't see any Pfeiffer letters but perhaps other letters might mention the family and you can figure out what village they went to? (You apparently have to join the Society in order to view the letters).

The following site says all of the Catholic villages of South Russia (including Crimea) belonged to the Diocese of Tiraspol. And Catholic priests kept one copy of the church records at the local church and sent one copy to the diocese headquarters.

The Black Sea site has at least two family trees that includes Wendelin descendants but I don't see any in Crimea.
