This book is the culmination of several years of work by the authors locating, translating, and transcribing manuscripts to verify the previously published compilations and to look for additional clues about the origins and destinations of the Volga Germans. In addition to translations of the marriage lists previously published in part Büdingen, Danzig, Lübeck, Roßlau, Schlitz, and Wöhrd, an additional 72 marriages from St. Jacob's Lutheran Church in Lübeck, three in Frankisch-Crumbach and 57 in Friedberg were located and will be included. The book includes three indices: 1) by name of individuals, 2) by German origin place name, and 3) by Russian colony destination. This new book cross references the newly available Russian manuscriopts with those from German sources. The corpus of the new book is the translations of the German manuscripts already discussed. However, since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, many manuscripts from Russian sources have been made available to researchers of the Germans from Russia. The 1767 census documents, often called "original settlers' lists, " are available for 57 of the 104 colonies extant at that time. This book is a valuable update for genealogy researchers.
