As times grew harder for the German-Russians, ie. the resending of the manifesto that Catherine the Great, the induction of young men into the military, shortage of farm land, etc. the various villages sent out men into various parts of the world to find a new land where they could emigrate to.
The record states that they left their fatherland and traveled to America. From Beideck they went to Saratov, then to Orel, to Wyrballen at the border, to Eidkuhnen, just across the border, to Berlin and then to Hamburg where they reached the sea.
