I volunteer for the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia as Village Coordinator for Koehler, Russia. In addition to Koehler, I am researching all families that immigrated to America from the Catholic villages in the Volga region of Russia. Over half of these Volga German immigrants settled in Kansas.

Corrections and updates including adding bio information are most welcome.
