Liebenau.Robert Ferdinand Reinhold. 11 Dec 1874 in Neumannufka.

Parents: Liebenau Hermann  and  Drewanz Sussana. These is the first time I found the name Liebenau in all the -
listings  about the Germans in Volhynia and Russia.

On the CD from LDS.
Liebenau Emil born 18 Feb 1889 in Cheryakov and his wife Helene Schultz born 27 Dec 1891 Schitomir.
Emils Parents.Wilhelm Liebenau and Gottlisbeth Grepentin.

On the CD from LDS.
Mattilde Liebenau. Born 29 Jul 1894 in Laschanowska.
Mattildes father: Liebenau Hermann.  In present time Mother unknown

From BLITZ Russian Baltic informationcenter in St. Petersburg,Russia.
Otto-August-Edward Liebenau -German -Prussian citizenship before the adoption of Russian citizenship 1893.
Robert Ferdinand Liebenau year of birth 1874. Prussian citizenschip  before the adoption of Russian citizenship.
Here we found the son of Hermann and Sussana for the second time. He is now about 19 years and he adopted
the Russian citizenship. It´s very likely that Otto August Edward is his brother. Presumably  his parents allso adopted
Russian citizenship. Frome this time it´s not likely to find them in the German Volhynia records any more.
I`m convice that in some way  these Liebenau persons are related to my grandmother Olga Liebenau from Volhynia. In all the listings "Germans from Russia" or "Wandering Volhynians" the name Liebenau is very
unusually. Hermann and his marriage to Sussana Drewanz and the birth of their son Robert 1874, is the
only exeption  from these facts. Yet I found several people related to Sussana Drewanz in these listings trough many years. I´m certain we will found out more about them in the future.
Presently; we have some more new names. Drewanz. Grepentin. Shultz.
