Dear Researchers: Just a reminder about the Giekau Heritage Fair and Genealogy Workshop coming up Aug. 5th in Emerson, NE. You can find out more information on the web site _www.giekau.com_ (http://www.giekau.com) . Check out the miscellaneous page for the schedule and list of family names involved so far. All families are welcome to display their family’s history. If your family came from the Giekau area of Schleswig-Holstein your information will be placed on one of the village tables. If your family came from elsewhere then they will be displayed on the Emerson Friends and Neighbors tables. This will include all families from the four county areas (Wayne, Dakota, Dixon and Thurston). Tables will be set up for other countries such as Germany, Scotland, Ireland, England, etc. So no matter where your family came from we will find a spot for it somewhere. Remember, Friends and Neighbors can cover a very wide area. For other information e-mail me at _Huffner5@aol.com_ (mailto:Huffner5@aol.com) , Gary Schoening Glenwood, Iowa
