Notes - In 1920 census, next door to Conrad Winder, Conrad J. Winder, Fred Winder, Jake Winder, all born in Russia.
From: Lee C. Winder
My name is Lee C. Winder, my grandfather is Godfried Benjamin Winder, born in Russia, 28 June 1886. My father is Donald Winder, born 16 Jan 1913. The Mary Winder who married George Blehm 2 Feb 1909 is a sister to Godfried Winder. Grandfather Winder and his siblings were all born in Russia. They were "Germans from Russia". They came to the United States in 1905.

No, as far as I know, there were no Jewish connections. They originated in Germany, and at some point in time they migrated to Russia. The Winders came from the colonies of Tscherbakowka (Scherbagefka), Awilowa, and the Arch adae, all on the Bergseite of the Volga. There is a Conrad John Winder (Godfried's older brother), who was born 24 August 1879. The name Winder was later determined to orginally have been Winter, but they kept the name Winder. In Windsor Colorado where they settled, there were also in the surrounding towns families with the name Winter, no relation with my Winder's as far as we known. The Winder (Winter) families left Russia, went to Germany and from there to the U.S. arriving at Ellis Island November 1905. Lee
