Discussion & Documentation:
Elisabeth Mankeln, a widow, is recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 81 along with a note that she relocated to the colony of Orlovskaya in 1768.
The 1767 census records that Widow Mankeln came from the German village of Niederraden. [There are two villages named Niederraden in Rheinland-Pfalz. One is in Kr. Bitburg-Prüm and the other was united in 1974 with Oberraden and is located in Kr. Neuwied.]
There are no known surviving male lines of the Mankeln family among the Volga German colonies.
