Many descendants
of the Hussenbach Colonies are not aware that there are two such
colonies. Our purpose is to attempt to help those people determine from
"which" Hussenbach their ancestors originated
- Hussenbach [Eustenbach] (Linevo
Osero) is in the Kanton of
Frank, in the Province of Saratov, and is on the Bergseite
(hillside) or west side of the Volga River. The colony was founded
in 1767 with a population of 525. By 1912 the population was 8080,
and in 1926 it was 6623. This was established as a Lutheran village
and is located on the Medvidetsa River.
- Hussenbach (Gaschon) sometimes
called Neu-Hussenbach, is in the Kanton of Krasny Kut, in the
Province of Samara and is on the Wiesenseite (meadowside) or the
east side of the Volga River. This village was established in 1860
as a daughter colony. In 1912 the population has been shown as 6624.
This is also a Lutheran village and is located on the Gaschon River.

Data Bank
A data bank has been established for
Hussenbachers which includes both colonies. The data bank has been
established by Louise Potter (address below).
In order to make the data bank of more
value to all who are interested in this village, we encourage all
Hussenbachers to send their family group sheets and pedigree charts to
the addresses below. Also needed are Hussenbach family charts received
from Dr. Pleve or other researchers.
Old Newsletters
The Hussenbach Review was a
newsletter that was published quarterly. The purpose of the newsletter
was genealogy and the sharing of information received from people
whose ancestors were from Hussenbach.
This newsletter was published from from
June 1994 until March of 1999. It contained information for
Hussenbachers, such as reader's stories about their own village or
queries about missing family in Russia or elsewhere.
