Greetings Everyone!I browsed the DVHH guest book today, it's been a while. I continue to be amazed how the DVHH has reached and touched so many folks.  And the mail list is still flourishing. Our Facebook has a life of it's own. I have to admit I don't know everyone personally.  There was a time when I(we) knew everyone, lol - many years ago. Check out the guest book: http://www.dvhh.org/community/guestbook/index.htmlAs I've been updating dvhh.org and trying to correct broken links, it's hard not to be sad as to all the German sites and other notable useful sites that have been shut down. Nick Tullius and I have discussed this privately but I wanted to bring it to the attention of all. There was a time (early 2000s) when only they existed. Which became a primary reason the DVHH.org was created Jan 15, 2003. For whatever reasons these sites are no longer available: webmasters pass away, too expensive or time consuming to continue; .... I want to thank all the DVHH volunteers and administrators who are still going strong and keep DVHH running since 2003.In 2007 it was recommended we become a nonprofit, which we did. This opened up our membership. These paying members keep the DVHH financially stable to ensure we remain online. Note: no one gets paid!  I retired from the board of Directors last year, leaving those affairs to a well qualified group. I don't even know or ask what our budget is. The DVHH has never participated in a "membership drive" and I hope this message isn't misconstrued as one, because we've never pleaded for money. But I want to just say this, my hope is that in 15 years down the line that - dvhh.org can still be accessed online, still going strong! If you have benefited from the DVHH you can always show your appreciation in financial support which will extend its life online.http://www.dvhh.org/membership/ Thank you all and have a blessed day.Carry on my fellow researchers!Jody McKim Pharr

For those of you who don't know the history of dvhh.org--Jody McKim Pharr started this all. From a modest beginning, dvhh has grown and grown. Just spend a day on the web site and you'll discover that you haven't seen all that is offered at the site. There is so much to learn there. We owe so much to Jody! I salute you dear friend and I thank you! I have learned so much and I have benefitted so much. Many, many thanks Jody McKim Pharr! You had a dream and it became a reality through your dedication, your hard work, and your creative talents!

I guess I am not 100% surprised to hear about German sites shutting down. In 2017, my wife Joy and I stopped in Haus der Donauschwabens in Haar (suburb of Munchen, on the train line S). It was quite interesting, a small place, with a focus on Cserwinka (Batchka), where I actually have possibly some history. Everyone there was 60+, maybe 65. No one spoke English, and my German could get me by a little, but it's only so good. If anyone is going to Munchen, it's worth a stop. I too enjoy dvhh and have gained a lot from it. I am writing a family book of my own about my Mom's family who all came in the 1920s from Hungary, Romania, Serbia. Paul A.

I wish I knew about that place when I was in München. I did meet a Schwebler family there though who surprised me by showing me a book about Feketitsch. I thought Haus der Donauschwaben was in Sindelfingen.

Haus der Donauschwaben in Sindelfingen (http://www.haus-donauschwaben.de/wordpress/) is an official state-sponsored organization. It is open a couple of days a week and other times by appointment. In addition to the museum, it has a library and also houses the AKdFF (akdff.de) which, in one way or another, is responsible for most of the Familienbucher. Haus der Donauschwaben in Haar (suburb of Munich) is a less formal, more volunteer run organization. Its museum is more eclectic and more full with a few areas of special interest. Unfortunately, I do not believe anyone in charge there speaks English, so you would have to arrange for a translator to communicate with them and tour. It seems to be run by the old timers who may not be around much longer. Not sure what the future holds. It is well worth a visit if you can arrange it. Get a small taste at these web pages https://www.gemeinde-haar.de/leben/freizeit/kultur/museen AND http://www.gerhardsombor.org/de/gal-290-Besuch-im-Haus-der-Donauschwaben-in-Haar.html The Dounauschaben Museum in Ulm is a typical institutional museum. Well worth a visit, but lacking the charm of the other two.http://www.dzm-museum.de/en/ Glenn Schwartz President, Zichydorf Village Association (http://zichydorfonline.org) Searching: Schwartz, Kleckner, Schönherr in Zichydorf, Banat; Schüssler, Millecker, Lenhardt in Kudritz, Banat; Schwartz, Kory, Pierson/Person in Morawitza, Banat; Kalupsky/Chalupsky in Blumenthal, Banat; Bardua, Kandel, Heuchert in Kolomea, Galicia; Kuntz, Holzer, Kraft, Wolfe, Folk (Volk) in Kutschurgan, Russia; Macht in Volga, Russia.

When I visited HdD in Haar, I did not arrange the visit in advance, which might have been smarter. They seemed a little surprised that an American person (and wife) showed up. Next time, I will arrange beforehand. Paul A.

I can’t tell you how much DVHH has helped me. Thank you!

I continue to be amazed how the DVHH has reached and touched so many folks. And the mail list is still flourishing. Our Facebook has a life of it's own. I have to admit I don't know everyone personally. There was a time when I(we) knew everyone, lol - many years ago. Check out the guest book: http://www.dvhh.org/community/guestbook/index.htmlAs I've been updating dvhh.org and trying to correct broken links, it's hard not to be sad as to all the German sites and other notable useful sites that have been shut down. Nick Tullius and I have discussed this privately but I wanted to bring it to the attention of all. There was a time (early 2000s) when only they existed. Which became a primary reason the DVHH.org was created Jan 15, 2003. For whatever reasons these sites are no longer available: webmasters pass away, too expensive or time consuming to continue; .... I want to thank all the DVHH volunteers and admin > istrators who are still going strong and keep DVHH running since 2003.In 2007 it was recommended we become a nonprofit, which we did. This opened up our membership. These paying members keep the DVHH financially stable to ensure we remain online. Note: no one gets paid! I retired from the board of Directors last year, leaving those affairs to a well qualified group. I don't even know or ask what our budget is. The DVHH has never participated in a "membership drive" and I hope this message isn't misconstrued as one, because we've never pleaded for money. But I want to just say this, my hope is that in 15 years down the line that - dvhh.org can still be accessed online, still going strong! If you have benefited from the DVHH you can always show your appreciation in financial support which will extend its life online.http://www.dvhh.org/membership/ Thank you all and have a blessed day.Carry on my fellow researchers!Jody McKim Pharr > > _______________________________________________ > Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/donauschwaben-villages@rootsweb.com > Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community > > > --- > This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. > https://www.avast.com/antivirus > > _______________________________________________ > Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref > Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/donauschwaben-villages@rootsweb.com > Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 > Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog > RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community
