Roth and Mary Mills, the AHSGR Village Coordinators, who have generously
agreed to allow this project to index their work-in-progress, a
many-year-old attempt to identify and confirm exact German origins for every
first settler. Their work is
phenomenal, having started with a copy of the original Russian list, they
have coordinated translation and research contributions from many people, in
the US, in Germany, and in Russia, although a great deal has been done by
Jean Roth herself. Their working
title is Village of Walter Emigration List ….

with the family names shown in parens following the place. Verified entries
