In the immigration lists I have noted the references where I took the data from. If the data is listed in more then one reference, I only have mentioned one. If you have found something interesting for you please have a look into the references to find out more details.

Please respect the copyright of the different references.

Genealogical data of Borodino are listed on the Borodino-Homepage of Judy A. Remmick-Hubert. If you are interested int his topic please have a look. Interesting may be not only the genealogical pages but also the other data collections.

Special thanks go to Ingrid Reule for letting me copy data from her Klöstitz-Homepage. If you are looking for more detailed data you should absolutely have a look atr data collection. You will not only find an extensive collection of genealogical data but also a good historical overview about settlement and resettlement.

Reuben Drefs lists in the Netze 1772 Land Records some people that later have settled in Bessarabia. You may find many families in his data collection that later are Bessarabian settlers. You might also have a clooser look at his other data collections, such as the beispielsweise die 1793-1794 Land Records of South Prussia.
