Reiny There are two genealogical societies that specialize in Germans from Russia. They are the Germans From Russia Heritage Society http://www.grhs.org/ and the Americal Historical Society of Germans from Russia http://www.ahsgr.org/ Check out their web sites. Also there are German/Russian databases at http://www.odessa3.org/search.html Happy Hunting Matt PS Have you heard of the book by Karl Stumpp called the Emigration from Germany to Russia in the Years 1763 to 1862? I can do a lookup if you have details of the emmegrants name and what area of Russia they went to.
