Use this as the search string:

gerlins*

and try the different search categories for the data.

Here is the result from the data category: cemeteries.

Scroll further for the results on data category 'history books,'  
which is more of interest since it relates to Mariupol Colony, where  
my Lutheran ancestors Gartner / Gaertner came from.  I do not find  
the Gerlinsky / Gerlinski surname in my data on my computer, so they  
may not be in Lutheran church records with St. Petersburg archives.

Using Google and searching using Gerlinski and Mariupol also yields  
an interesting hit:

file_inventories/1836-1839_german.pdf+gerlinski 
+mariupol&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

shows  this: "Jakob Gerlinski, Schulze der K. Kaiserdorf"
[where K. = Kolonie?]

Looks like this reference has data from 1799 - 1876.

Searching data category 'war records,' there are many hits for EWZ  
files with spelling Gerlinski and some Gerlinske.  This data includes  
references to geographic data that would relate to 1940s locations  
for the family members.  EWZ records are applications to return to  
the German homeland.  The geo reference MAY be the place where the  
application was submitted.  I can't remember if it's the place of  
residence for the person.
