This
web site came into being because a group of us were researching our
German families from Eastern Europe. Individually, we had purchased
roles of microfilm and other records. Each of us studied these,
along with records from various municipal and national archives,
books of history, and town records. Some of us even paid for private
researches of our family's history and were still dissatisfied with our
progress.
Gradually,
we became aware of one another's existence and decided to pool our
information and other resources to form the Catholic Germans from
Russia and Romania website. We offer these materials
freely for the benefit of all who have descended from or have ties with
the Catholic Germans from Russia and Romania.
