Both the AHSGR http://www.ahsgr.org/ and the Germans from Russia Heritage Society of Bismarck, ND http://www.grhs.org/ have translated census lists which contain the names of many of the descendants of the original settlers. Church records for Rohrbach can be found at this site as well. Since Rohrbach and Worms were a combined parish for some time, these records apply to Worms as well.

Census lists are available for purchase and each organization encourages membership. The Germans From Russia Heritage Collection is also a useful site. http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/grhc/research/scholarly/bibliography/mennonite.html. These sites contain links to other resources as well. The LDS church in Salt Lake City, Utah has done extensive genealogical work. They have an excellent free downloadable software program called PAF that can be used to record family data and to build a family tree. LDS Information Sources

Your help is needed to improve this site. If you have pictures of Rohrbach or its inhabitants please forward them to me by email and we will try to incorporate them into the sites content. Also, your comments are much appreciated both in terms of errors and suggestions on how to improve this site. It would also be interesting to identify communities in the United States and elsewhere where former residents of Rohrbach originally settled. Thank you for your interest in our German Russian Heritage.
