Black Sea German
Research
Christian Fiess -
Migration from German
Villages
These German
villages are the places
of origin of many of our
Black Sea German
ancestors. This data is
based primarily on the
records of Christian
Fiess, who was a teacher
in Sarata, Bessarabia.
Christian was the first
archivist and curator of
the Bessarabien
Heimatmuseum in
Stuttgart, Germany. He
spent more than 60 years
collecting family
documents and materials
to preserve our Black
Sea German heritage.
