Convention Newsletter Thursday, June 14, 2007 A gravestone in a photograph led Carol Sinner from Savannah, GA to Hays, Ks. and the AHSGR Convention. It all began when her brother sent her a snapshot of her great-grandfather¹s headstone. She was able to read on the stone his place of birth: Norka, Russia. Then she got on the internet to learn more about Norka, and a link connected her to AHSGR. That¹s when she learned about the convention, signed up for membership and the convention. This is her first AHSGR convention. Her ancestors (Helzer) settled in Harvard, Nebraska in 1888. Leona Pfeifer announced the official opening of the 38th annual convention. The color guard presented the flags of the U.S. and Canada and both National Anthems were sung. Then following a tribute to the large number of veterans present. Fr. Gilmary Tallman O.F.M.Cap. (yes, he¹s German too!) invoked the opening prayer. Leona expressed gratitude for the support of the businesses and the local communities. Kevin Rupp also thanked the Kansas Chapters for their help. Next, the mayor of Hays, Troy Hickman, was happy to welcome the 530 people who registered for the convention. He commented ³Since I¹m married to a Weber from Ellis, this crowd just reminds me of Christmas dinner!² He presented Jerome Siebert, AHSGR President, with a Marshall¹s badge ­ in lieu of keys to the city. Gary Shorman, Pres/CEO of Eagle Communications mentioned a favorite German saying from childhood days. His grandpa would often say, ³too soon old, too late smart². He challenged us to take and share with the next generation the wealth of history made available through AHSGR genealogy research. He was impressed with the passion this group has about their heritage. The business meeting followed, chaired by Jerry Siebert. He pointed out that our international aspect is for all German-Russian, not just the Volga area. Our history goes through Russia. We need to get youth interested and appreciative of their heritage. Alton Sissell explained the current fund raising plan titled ³Step-Up². We are asked to Œstep-up¹ to the plate and go for the Home Run ­ the goal of $250,000. The genealogy workshop was well attended and certainly provided a wide realm of advice on tracking down the relatives. Peggy Goertzen¹s talk on ŒThe Crimea Revisited¹ pointed out how an intrinsic characteristic of Russian-Germans was a willingness to migrate. Frank Jacobs explained how to track heritage through DNA. And Alton Sissell was just what beginners needed to hear on how to get started via the internet. Life on the Kansas prairie. No money ­ no trees for homes. Ingenuity and industriousness found ways for shelter. First the dug out, then the sod houses, and finally, the native stone homes. Norma Pipkin, dressed as an immigrant woman, spun a story of her great-great grandmother¹s family coming to America, starting anew, filled with faith and hope. We learned how customs from Russia were carried on here as she narrated certain customs and ³hochzeit² (wedding). She sprinkled her speech with a delightful mixture of German and English and spoke of traditional foods and preparations for a German wedding. It was truly authentic in every detail, and a joy to hear. Village Night ­ a whole new experience for me. I enjoyed meeting new people whose family ties in America began where I grew up. I realized too late that I should have been better prepared with information my family has gathered on our family tree. Even so, as we talked, I learned more about what the genealogy department has to offer in our search for ancestry. Thus ends day four of the convention.

I am trying to find birth, marriage, death, census records of the village of Hoffental. It is located just northwest of Krasny-Kut. Another village close to Hoffental is Rosental. I have the following info on relatives who came to US. Christian Morlang(B: 1872) married Dorothea (B:abt 1880) married in Russia about 1900. Children born Russia: Christian B: Aug 1900, Johannes B: abt 1905. Maria B: abt 1908, Heinrich B: abt. 1913. Dorthea and children immigrated 1913, arriving in Halifax, Nova Scotia Oct. 10, 1913 ship name Kursk. Ships record for Dorothea said brother in law Konrad Morlang in Hoffental, Samara. Chrsitian's brother John Morlang (B: abt 1872) immigrated abt. 1908. John's wife Katharine(B: abt 1873) and son Peter(B: 1894) immigrated in 1910. Both families went to North Dakota. Peter's death record in Minn. says mother's maiden surname is Stabu. She is most likely from Hoffental also. John was soldier in Russian army. Any info to research vital records from Hoffental would be greatly appreciated. Older relative who is son of Marie (B: 1908) said his mother told him her grandparents were sent to Siberia. Does anyone know of any info about this? Thank you very much. Regards, Judy _________________________________________________________________ Like puzzles? Play free games & earn great prizes.

CONVENTION NEWS June 12, 2007 The highway slices right through the center of the tiny Kansas town of Liebenthal. Blink your eyes and you are through it. Still, a convention tour came to Liebenthal, to showcase beautiful St. Joseph¹s Catholic Church and rectory. This was the first settlement of our German Russian ancestors and showcased the sacrifices they made to build a fitting and impressively huge church and priest¹s residence. Also the tour encased the cemetery and a town business: Pat¹s Beef Jerky. Many people were impressed that this small town operation produced and marketed the beef jerky. Tuesday was a day filled with business meetings for the various Society Boards and day two of new registration, as well as two full day tours. Tour #2 was the Hays Museums Tour, which included the Ellis County Historical Society Museum, which is solely devoted to Ellis County¹s entire rich and colorful heritage, from the days of Indians, forts and saloons on through pioneer German-Volga settlements, tools and customs. The on to the Stone Gallery and an opportunity to meet the artist, Pete Felten, know for numerous statues and carving made form native limestone rocks quarried locally. Bob Pfeifer, Liebenthal, recalls a time Pete was quarrying rocks, blocking the road he was trying to get a combine through. The tour¹s last stop was historic Fort Hays, which still boasts some of the original buildings and artifacts. The tour included a luncheon buffet featuring some local German ethnic favorites, wedding roast beef and chicken and noodles. Back to our Church tour which also included St. Anthony¹s Catholic Church in Schoenchen, just four miles from Liebenthal ­ as well as St. Francis Catholic Church and cemetery in Munjor, Kansas. Vendors were in full swing now and the Country Store and Book Store are humming with activity. This second day wound down with a fun evening at Whiskey Creek Restaurant. Leonard Schoenberger, local convention chair, welcomed the large number of volunteers, guests and friends as he began the evening with an opening prayer remembering those who strive to keep alive our heritage and beloved customs. My dinner partners were all strangers at first but delightful for dinner conversation. Norma and Larry Schenkel from Lincoln, Nebraska and locals Joseph and Agnes Werth, Francis and Velma Giebler. After our meal, we were entertained with humor and music. Celly Schumacher told a few hilarious jokes and Galen Schmidtberger wowed the crowed with accordion and clarinet as he played patriotic and favorite Germans songs. All in all it was a great day and left all with anticipation of what is yet to come. Judy Hoffman Sunflower Chapter Secretary Hays, Ks.

The naturalization process was done by different court systems, including local district courts, some state Supreme Courts and the US Federal District Court. So some records are available from the National Archives. Read more about the system here: http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/naturalization/naturalization.html Gary Martens

Your search for immigration records is probably dependent on the locality where you're searching. I've found them in different places in the US. In Weld County Colorado where I live they are in the 19th Judicial District of the District Court - that district encompasses the whole county. If no one on the list can help you with your location - check for county genealogical societies for some advice about where to look. Also look up individual counties in the USGenweb site - some have FAQ's to help you determine where to look or who to ask. Lauren Brantner --------------------------------- You snooze, you lose.

Kathie, It has been a while since I went through the procedure, but as I recall, you need to go to the county court house in which the person settled for a period of time. I believe that length of time was 5 or 6 years before they could apply. Good Luck in your search. Don Loose Warren, Mich.
