What an amazing resource this archive is -- but only if you can read German, and in the old script!! I looked at the 1913 Kalender in the section for German settlers in south Russia. Fascinating details of all officials in each region, steamer timetables, history of the Russian royal family, Russian politics, world events (including Roosevelt's election campaign, the Titanic and the Mexican revolution), pictures, articles, advice, tantalising advertisements ... It gives an enticing picture of the rich life in the colonies. Thank you Horst and Allyn.

I received this information via Alexander Scheiermann in Saratov this morning. Rene Krueger (with a u Umlaut) has already held some lectures with about 475 power point photos of the Volga Region today. In 2013 these presentations were held in Gualeguaychu and Buenos Aires. The next ones will be in Bahia Blanca on March 29, 2014, Crespo on April 12, 2014 and Aldea Protestante on April 13, 2014. There is no entrance fee. In September they will take place in Bariloche and La Plata and probably in October in Santa Rosa and Parana; that is all of Argentina will be covered! Horst Gutsche

If you google Immanuel Winkler wikipedia you will come across his very interesting story. He was a Bessarabian German. Click on the links at the bottom for even more information. There is a very long list of all the Lutheran parishes and pastors in the Russian Empire exactly 100 years ago in 1914. It is most informative and even includes Latvia etc. At least 10 years ago I found some information for someone who was on this electronic mailing list and who was a descendant of Pastor Winkler.
