• There were many German areas around the Black Sea. These include the Beresan colonies, Grossliebental colonies, Kutschurgan colonies, Glckstal colonies, the Dobrudscha area, and the Crimea. GRHS has other Regional Interest Groups (RIGs) that can help with your research around the Black Sea. • The Volga area is in a different region of Russia, southeast of Moscow. Germans settled there in the 1700s. GRHS has some information on the Volga area, but AHSGR specializes in this area and has much more information on it.
