Aganetha was born December 18, 1870 in Lindenert, Molotschna Settlement, South Russia.

Among my genealogy stuff I found an invitation card for a family reunion. The front of the card is a picture of Great Grandmother and someone wrote on the front 'Grossmom'. I had no idea what 'Grossmom' was. I looked it up on the Internet but didn't find anything. I used a site for translating and found that Grossmom is a combination of two languages for the word Grandmother.  In German it should be 'Grossmutter'.   Whoever wrote the word Grossmom combined German as the first part of the word for grandmother and the second part of the English word for mother / mom. 

There are several other words in German for grandmother. 

Grossmutter-grandmother

Oma-grandma

Omi-granny or grandma, nan, nana

GroBmutter-grandmother

GroBmama-grandmother

Here's a link to listen to the pronunciation.
