[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Kazapen

[albertmuth at aol.com]

Hi Dick,



Best I can do on short notice is an on-line reference at 
http://www.z-g-v.de/doku/archiv/rumaenien/kapitel-4-1-1-0-1.htm

Do a "find on page search", and you will see that it occurs

in this context:




Es war ihnen auch gelungen, mit den anderen in Bessarabien siedelnden 

Bevölkerungselementen (Moldowaner, Kazapen, Bulgaren, Ukrainer, Gagausen) 

zu einer freundschaftlichen Lebensgemeinschaft mit Arbeitsteilung (Bulgaren) zu gelangen



Also

http://www.hannowka.de/Video_Panorama.htm

Der Panoramarundblick zeigt das Dorf Hannowka im August 2004. 

Ein neues Schulgebäude ist seit 10 Jahren im Bau. Bis 1940 wohnten 

im unteren Dorfteil die Deutschen , im oberen die "Kazapen", Angehörige 

einer russischen Glaubens- richtung.




I found these, just googling.  But I did restrict the language to German.  There are a 

few other citations worth considering (in Google Books, books that have been scanned).




Sorry for not translating, I thought we'd get you straightened out first.




The reference usually seems to be in the context of the Bessarabian

Germans

Can anyone give me a good idea of what is or was meant by the term 
"Kazapen"?  I've seen references that make it seem to apply to an ethnic 
group, a religious sect, or a nasty group of20anti-Semites.

Thanks for any help.
