>Hi fellow GR -- Happy New Year 2005! As of today 24 Volga colonies have

>Polyana, Kamenka, Kautz, Kraft, Krasnoyar, Kratzke, Kukkus, Kutter,
>Leichtling, Merkel, Preuss, Roethling, Rothammel, Schuck, Sewald,
>Stahl-am-Karaman, and Volmer.

>There are 31 more FSL in the first 2 volumes of Professor Pleve's books. I

>Boregard, Keller, Brabender, Katharinenstadt, Caesarsfeld, Kano, Cheisol,
>Jost, Degott, Husaren, Dehler, Holstein, Dinkel, Hoelzel, Dobrinka,
>Hildmann, Doenhof, Herzog, Dreispitz, Grimm, Enders, Graf, Ernestinendorf,
>Goebel, Fischer, Galka, Franzosen.
