I've heard of the Volga Germans, many of whom emigrated to the US and Canada. My boss is descended from immigrants like this. However from the article, these Germans went much farther east.Some Germans set up "colonies" in Russia a few hundred years ago. I learned about it a long time ago when I met some of their descendants in Germany who had used their ancestry to move back again.![]()
