Title: The German-Russians in words and pictures
Description: A large percentage of people living in the Dakotas, Kansas, and Nebraska share a German-Russian heritage. The Canadian provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, and the states of Washington, Oregon, California and others also have a smattering of German-Russians. They are called German-Russians because their ancestors moved to Russia from German territories in the late 1700s and early 1800s, where they created an agricultural and industrial empire. Then many of them left it all behind and started anew in the Americas in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
