As many people know, a First Settler's List for Hussenbach has not been found. The village was one of 17 that were not included in Dr. Igor Pleve's Einwanderung in das Wolgagebiet 1764-1767 series. I have attempted to derive a list of people who were probably the First Settlers of Hussenbach. I used Pleve's: Lists of Colonists to Russia in 1766: Reports to Ivan Kulberg;" Dr. Brent A. Mai's: 1798 Census of the German Colonies along the Volga: Economy, Population, and Agriculture, Volumes 1 and 2; Transport of the Volga Germans from Oranienbaum to the Colonies on the Volga 1766-1767 and Combined Surname Index to All Volumes of Einwanderung in das Wolgagebiet
1764-1767 by Igor Pleve Compiled by Brent Alan Mai. I ran a report on my Hussenbach database and came up with a list of 158 surnames that were born before 1800. From Beratz I knew I was looking for 118 families. Using the above resources I was able to come up with 116 probable families. Questions, corrections or comments are Welcome.
