Here is part of the information on the site.  It even gives contact people
that maintain the information.

"Many descendants of the Hussenbach Colonies are not aware that there are
two such colonies. Our purpose is to attempt to help those people determine
from "which" Hussenbach their ancestors originated

Hussenbach [Eustenbach] (Linevo Osero): is in the Kanton of Frank, in the
Province of Saratov, and is on the Bergseite (hillside) or west side of the
Volga River. The colony was founded in 1767 with a population of 525. By
1912 the population was 8080, and in 1926 it was 6623. This was established
as a Lutheran village and is located on the Medvidetsa River.

Hussenbach (Gaschon): sometimes called Neu-Hussenbach, is in the Kanton of
Krasny Kut, in the Province of Samara and is on the Wiesenseite (meadowside)
or the east side of the Volga River. This village was established in 1860 as
a daughter colony. In 1912 the population has been shown as 6624. This is
also a Lutheran village and is located on the Gaschon River.

Data Bank -- A data bank has been established for Hussenbachers which
includes both colonies. The data bank has been established by Louise Potter
(address below).
In order to make the data bank of more value to all who are interested in
this village, we encourage all Hussenbachers to send their family group
sheets and pedigree charts to the addresses below. Also needed are
Hussenbach family charts received from Dr. Pleve or other researchers."
