    3. In addition to Lori’s question about the music, I am wondering about the folk dances the villagers did. I have been doing folk dancing for years and have come across many dances from the Balkans but have always wondered if the Donauschwaben danced these dances or brought their own dances from their original villages in Germany. And if so, what were these dances? I have asked these questions of instructors who specialize in the folk dances of Romania, Croatia, and Serbia but none seem to know the answer. Thanks for any insights.

    3. Hi, I just want to join in the group with kudos to theDVHH. Enough can not be said about what a wonderful, helpful, enlightening ,,teaching, and fun site this is. I have learned so much and found ancestors and made friends ver the years. Yes! it is a shame that we have lost sites and many wonderfully helpful people along the way. I don’t know where I would be in my research without the DVHH and all the helpful people. People like me need all the help we can get. My Mom was born in Deutschsanktmichael but came to the U.S. when she was two and has no real memories to help, so I had a few names and that is where I started. I am not sure how I found out about DVHH but sure glad I did. It makes me sad when I think about how much has been lost and what will happen thru the years as are very knowledgeable helpers will pass. So much history will be lost.There are not enough THANKS to all who made and make this fabulous site what it is today. Barb Dannenberg Sent from my iPad

    3. Hello friends, Many of you know Henry Fischer, a long-time member of DVHH who has shared so much of his time, talent and knowledge with us over the years. He is a retired 83-year old Lutheran pastor and an untiring, prolific author.

The Families of Somogydorocske in Somogy County, Hungary 1730-1948 and its affiliates in Bonnya, Gadacs and Szil", *has just been published. It contains both genealogical and historical information, including the emigrants to the US and Canada and the whereabouts of families after the expulsion which took place in 1948. Each volume must be ordered separately from Amazon or AuthorHouse. Here are the links: https://www.amazon.com/D%C3%B6rnberg-Josefsberg-Families-Somogyd%C3%B6r%C3%B6cske-1730-1948/dp/1546275630/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=d%C3%B6rnberg+in+the+shadow+of+josefsberg&qid=1550773121&s=books&sr=1-1 https://www.authorhouse.com/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-001210675 Can you believe these are Henry's 11th and 12th publications and he is working on a novel now?
