[Earlier research recorded in the Ortsfamilienbuch Langenalb concluded that the Dahlingers that settled in the Volga German colony of Galka were the descendants of Johann Georg Dahlinger from Langenalb - by his two wives Maria Catharina Stelzer & Maria Catharina Wackenhut. This conclusion, however, has proven to be inaccurate. The descendants of Johann Georg Dahlinger did go to Russia, but settled in Saratovka near St. Petersburg where Maria Catharina Dahlinger Ulrich née Wackenhut died on 10 November 1793.]
