Did the Schochenmaiers speak Franconian or Swabian German?

After we mapped the spouses' ancestors of the first Schochenmaiers married in Russia, we concluded here that our forefathers could either speak Franconian dialect (Franconian of Mosel river near France) or Swabian (in our case it's area between Stuttgart and Heilbronn).

Here is the map of some dialects:

High German dialects.
Austro-Bavarian dialects are in blue colours:
North Bavarian (7), Central or Danube Bavarian (8), and South Bavarian (9).
Swabian-Alemannic dialects are in red colours.
Two Franconian dialects are in green colours.

How can we check it out? How could we find out it precisely? I think I need your help.

Below you'll find two videos with examples of those two dialects. If you do remember how your parents or grandparents spoke German between them, please, be so kind to comment what dialect it could be. I do understand that it's very subjective, but, however, it could help. By the way, if you are not a Schochenmaier, but your ancestors are from the Berezan Colony (Russian Empire, 19th century), then your help is appreciated.

My great grandfather's 100th anniversary

Two weeks ago my great grandfather Wladimir would mark 100 years. I am happy to understand that I could talk to him in 2001 and 2003, and ask lots of questions about the past.

He was born in 1915 in Belarus. When he was 3 years old, the Bolsheviks hacked his father to death with sabers. He grew up in a village with his relatives.

My great grandfather met my great grandmother in the Ukraine in 1930s.

When the WWII started, he and his-father-in-law Wilhelm were brought to Germany for a work. He wasn't given a citizenship of the Third Reich but he worked as a driver of an army officer. As a result, after the WWII was finished, he was sentenced for 10 years as Enemy of the Soviet People in 1946. Fortunately, he was back in 1954, two years earlier, thanks to the Khrushchev's amnesty. With Khrushchev's amnesty program, as a former prisoner and his relatives could now live a normal life without the infamous "wolf ticket." 

Below you can see one picture of Wladimir with my great grandmother and my mum on funeral of my great great grandmother Eva Bender (1896-1973):
