Dr. Schleuning shared the following about his ancestry from Norka:
My ancestor Caspar Schleuning was one of the first colonists in Norka (arrived 1767). My great-great-grandfather founded the daughter colony Neu-Norka further to the south. My grandfather Johannes Schleuning was a Lutheran minister and served as a pastor to the German community in Tbilisi, Georgia. During World War I, he was banned to Siberia because of Russian fear from ethnic German political activity. In 1918, he moved to Germany and became a spiritual leader and public voice for the Russian-Germans in Germany.
