Town History Books
Many of the communities in the U.S. and Canada where German-Russians lived have published history books for the town's anniversary celebrations. These books are filled with valuable family data.
Some of these books are available online, either the full text or in an indexed format. If you'd like to see a copy of the original book, most are available in the GRHS Library. If the book you're looking for isn't there, contact the Area Coordinator for help or check the Family History Library catalog.
