Fordville, ND 58231 or # 701-865-4112 and order his Russia Record, I think it is under $20, it is complete Hutterite family records from Russia 1700's-1874, this should be a really easy project, no one has better records than these people, there is much on the internet if you search either Hutterite or Mennonite, plus they have written their own chronicles, you are talking about a community that has been together for the last 500 years, everyone today of this group is at least 5th or 6th cousins, these are the most researched people group by geneticists also. You can email me if you like, this is my mother's heritage and very important to me.
