Germans settled in a number of areas in the former Russian Empire. Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia had sizable German minorities. Colonies of Germans were established in the 19th century along the Volga River and the Black Sea. Beginning in the 1700s, a number of Germans settled in and around towns in Sub-Carpathia Rus' (now part of Ukraine). The Family History Library has microfilmed and digitized many parish registers in these locations (see the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/search FamilySearch Catalog]). A number of genealogical agencies now offer research services as well in these areas. | Germans settled in a number of areas in the former Russian Empire.
