Talk:Russian Germans in North America

Areas of Immigration
It would be good to expand and clarify this section. Tens of thousands of Germans from Russia settled in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas. The Volga Germans settled primarily in Nebraska and Kansas. Black Sea Germans (also known as Odessa Germans) settled primarily in North Dakota and South Dakota.

Also, the comment about "In 1910, 5% of the population of North Dakota had been born in Russia; it is likely most were ethnic Germans" ... I don't know the exact numbers, but in general this is correct. For exceptional details about the ethnic groups in North Dakota, a good reference is "Prairie Mosaic" by Fred C. Koch.

My grandparents settled in Windsor, Colorado and I was in touch with others (met online via the Mormon database) whose grandparents had come from the same village in Russia along the Volga as well. There must be others. I would be interested to hear from others whose families settled in Colorado. What drew some families there and others to to the Dakotas?Kmester (talk) 14:05, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

I came to this page looking for how to spell the word "Rooshian". I was raised in eastern Kansas, a decedent of Volga Germans, but they (we) were always referred to as "Rooshians" Why isn't this in the article? 27 feb 2015 no wiki username.

German Russians in North Dakota
Some of the Germans in Russia at the end of the 19th Century became a little too wealthy and created internal problems for the Russian government. The cry then was "Russia for Russians" and laws were enacted to prevent Germans from buying land. This and erosion of the inducements for moving to Russia led to a mass emigration to America. See Collections of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, Vol. I, p. 199. --Jbergquist (talk) 12:54, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

The page name
Can someone change the page name back to “Germans from Russia” instead of “Russian Germans in North America” Germans from Russia is how they identify as and are known by scholars. 174.213.145.17 (talk) 01:54, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
