Purpose:

Local Chapter meetings are a great way to meet other Germans from Russia and to find out more about your heritage. Many AHSGR Chapters have their own libraries of books, maps, and research material. Find your local chapter for “area-wide” activities near you. We invite you to join in both national and Chapter activities. You might just meet a cousin or two!
