Wonderful, This document fit with Jacob Scholl, and Johannes Roesch. I am wondering if the reason so many are going to Russia is to avoid the French and Napoleon? Thank you Robert, KG

You're welcome, Kent. Napoleon was kaput by 1815, so he and the French were probably not the reason for the German immigration to Russia at least after 1815.
The following article might give you some clues abot German immigration to Russia: https://depts.washington.edu/heritage/Organizations/Russia/Seattle%20AHSGR%20pamphlet.htm#:~:text=Migration%20of%20Germans%20to%20Russia&text=Altogether%20more%20than%20100%2C000%20Germans,powerful%20impacts%20started%20the%20migration.

Robert Seal_1 I read the article. Excellent. This gives a whole new look at Germany and Russia. I'm afraid we have too many preconceived notions about Russia. The Manifesto sounds pretty good to me. Thanks for sharing. No wonder so many immigrated.Kent

Robert Seal_1 I had no idea so many immigrated and that there were so many perks for when you did. One of the things about Graben is it is geographically in a poor position in terms of Germany and France. The land is flat, the Rhine makes it easy to move stuff up the river and it was easy for the French troops and others to conquer these small towns. No wonder so many left. They wanted peace and freedom. KG
