An article was published in the Die Wilt Post, 1938, about the village of Anton.  

Refer to the AHSGR Journal, Vol. 6, No. 4, Winter 1983, for a more detailed 

account of the village.

Anton was located along the Volga River.  One of the industries of the area 

was a sugar beet factory.  In 1875, the sugarbeet factory closed and the 

people had to resettle to other areas for work.  A group of Antoners went as 

far away as Baku, in the Caucusus, to find work.

I have been the Village Coordinator for Anton for many years and also have 

a passion for the movement to The Caucasus.  The Stark family resided

in Anton and are related to the Hert family. 

I encourage fellow researchers to share any Caucasus information.  Thanks

for the support.
