Source:Bühler, Roman. Russlandschweizer-Datenbank

Database of migration records of Swiss citizens to the Russian Empire, maintained by the Institute for East European History at the University of Zürich. The database consists of 3,985 entries from an archive of such records, digitized in 1994 by Roman Bühler. Most of this archive was based on the records of the Vereinigung der Russlandschweizer (VRS), collected by Markus Lengen.

The database contains comparatively detailed biographical information on the individuals covered. Most entries are on people born in the 18th or 19th century, besides a smaller number born in the 17th or early 20th centuries, and three entries on people born before 1600.

The full database can be downloaded as excel sheet or CSV text file.
