Jagodnaja PoljanaVV, (aka Baum, Beerenfeld, Yagodnaya Polyana), a Lutheran German village on the eastern side of the Volga.  This FSL, together with the results of his own considerable research, was sent by Georg Kromm from the Volga to Schotten, Germany in 1912.  A copy was obtained from a museum there by Art and Cleo Flegel in 1972, and printed by them in “Research in Hesse”, American Historical Society of Germans from Russia Work Paper, Vol.XIII (Dec,1973), pp.27-35.  That version was reprinted in Richard D. Scheuerman, Pilgrims on the Earth, 1976, pp.131-37.  An abbreviated, and comewhat changed, version was also printed in Stumpp, The Emigration, pp.78-81, with the entries and additional information interspersed alphabetically pp.117-165.  A translation of the original FSL is published in Pleve, Einwanderung …, vol.II, pp.173-194.  According to Kromm and Pleve versions, the first settlers were from the following places with the family names shown here in parens.  Information and spelling sometimes differ between Kromm and Pleve – information from Kromm is presented here in standard bold, if it appears the same way in Pleve, it is underlined, if it appears only in Pleve, it is bold italicized; the number following the family name is the household number in the FSL; information within square brackets are my additions, usually based on contemporary maps -- rak:
