The Henry Repp Families
According to the Plehve Repp Family Chart based on Russian census records, family progenitor
Johann Georg Repp (1740?-1819) emigrated from Schotten, Hesse (Germany) to Yagodnaya Polyana,
Russia in 1766-67. He and his wife, Anna Dorothea (b. 1745?) were the parents of several children
including Johann Chrisoph Repp (1771-1847), who had three sons including Johann Georg (b. 1792) and
Adam (b. 1796). The two Henry Repp families listed below appear to descend from these two brothers.
Johann Georg‟s son, Heinrich, by his second wife (Marie Elizabeth Bollinger) was born in 1851 and is,
therefore, probably the husband of Anna Marie Barth. Only one other Heinrich Repp born in 1851 is
shown in Yagodnaya for 1851, but he is a son of Johannes and Anna Catherine (Görlitz) Repp whose
family connections were explained to Evelyn Reich by Alec Reich without any mention of this Henry (see
Part Two of this document).
Adam Repp (b. 1796) had a son named Johannes (b. 1824) who married Anna Marie Götz (b.
1824) and they were the parents of several children including Heinrich Repp, b. 1852, who would seem to
be the second Henry Repp shown below as there were no other Heinrich Repps born in Yagodnaya in the
1850s and the migration of some village residents to Yagodnaya‟s daughter colonies did not begin until
1857. Based on this evidence, the two Henry Repps listed below would have been first cousins, once
removed, which makes it reasonable that they would have immigrated to the other side of the globe from
the same place in Russia to live as neighbors in the Palouse Country.
