SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Lena Wolf currently lives in London\, but grew up in Kazakhstan as a child of Germans from Russia parents. Lena’s mother Angelina\, was born in the German village of  Blumenfeld in Ukraine and her father Adam\, was born in the German village of  Gnadenfeld\, not far from Rostov on Don. Both were deported in 1941 to Kazakhstan when they were still very young. Lena’s family moved to Germany in 1990. She completed her two degrees\, BA in Linguistics\, and a Master’s in Management Studies\, in Wellington\, New Zealand. Lena is currently working on a graphic novel about the history of Germans from Russia in the Soviet Union. \nA Graphic Novel: The true story of a German family who stayed behind in the Soviet Union \nIn Lena’s graphic novel\, she tells the story of Germans from Russia who stayed behind in the Soviet Union. The story is told from the perspective of three women: Lena’s  grandmothers Emilia and Josephine and Lena. Grandma Emilia tells us about the deportation from her village in Russia to Kazakhstan\, a journey that took more than 4 weeks in freezing conditions. Grandma Josephine tells us about her gulag sentence of 20 years in Vorkuta\, a place located 150 km north of the arctic circle. Lena tells us about what it was like to grow up as a German child in Kazakhstan; Baking ‘Zuckerkuchen’ with her grandmother and eating ‘Beshbarmak’ (a Central Asian dish) with her friends. \nIn her presentation she will focus on one part of the story\, the deportation of Grandmother Emilia to Kazakhstan. She will show the latest illustrations and will meet Grandmother Emilia and Lena as graphic novel characters. Participants will learn how Grandmother Emilia survived when they arrived in Kazakhstan in -35 degrees (-31 Fahrenheit) and were dropped off in the snow covered steppe with no protection in sight.

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Wayne Bonner  \nAlthough virtually all members of AHSGR have heard the story of Catharine the Great and her manifesto of 1763 inviting settlement in Russia\, not everyone is aware of the population movements that occurred prior to that epic migration. Numerous Germans\, primarily from the present German states of Baden-Wurttemberg and the Palatine (Pfalz)\, relocated to Brandenburg beginning in the 1740’s where Frederick the Great was building his new capital of Berlin and required skilled laborers.  Still others\, estimated to have been at least 5\,000\, answered the invitation of Frederick V of Denmark beginning in 1759 to settle unimproved land in the regions of Jutland and the Duchy of Schleswig \nThe Danish settlement movement has been studied for some time\, but most of the works were written in German or Danish and not generally available to researchers in North America. However\, in 2012 Drs. Alexander\, Jacob and Mary Eichhorn produced a volume that will stand for years as the principal investigation of the Danish “experience”. Wayne’s presentation will not delve so much into the history of this settlement\, but instead will discuss the specific parish records that the Eichhorn research alludes to. \nThe parish records of Denmark\, which at the tine included much of present-day Schleswig\, were researched for clues to events associated with the German “Colonists” as they were designated.   During this period\, children were born\, marriages were performed\, and colonists died. By examining virtually all the currently accessible parish records of Jutland and Schleswig for the time span between 1759 and 1766\, Mike Meisinger\, Herb Femling and Wayne\, have been able to identify some 500 entries that can be tied to specific German-Russian settlers.  Not only has this project identified these records and therefore added to the growing list of origins for many Volga settlers\, but also provided important clues to some of their origins in Germany. \nIn this presentation\, Wayne will discuss specific examples of some of the findings. Although our effort emphasizes examples of records associated with Balzer and Moor settlers\, additional parish records were identified of settlers to thirty-two other German-Russian colonies. Prior to the 2021 virtual AHSGR convention\,  a full copy of these records was sent to sent to AHSGR village coordinator group.  It is now posted on the new web site in the village records.\n\n\n\nClick Here to Register for Treffen Tuesday

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Wayne Garman:\nI am a native of Saskatchewan\, Canada\, with Germans from Russia ancestry in the Kutschurgan village of Elsass as well as the Mennonite colony of Chortitza. I hold a masters of history degree from Texas State University. The history of the Germans from Russia is one of my major research topics. I have presented at both GRHS & AHSGR conventions and write articles for publication. In 2018\, I visited my ancestral villages in the Kutschurgan region of Ukraine as part of the North Dakota State University Homeland Tour. I am currently president of the Arizona Sun Chapter of Germans from Russia. I make my home in Glendale\, Arizona and summer in Saskatoon\, Saskatchewan. \n“Go North Young Man: The remarkable story of Germans from Russia Immigration from the US to the Canadian Prairies – 1896 to 1914”\nMany of our Germans from Russia ancestors emigrated to Canada after their initial settlement in the United States. Today\, many Germans from Russia families have relatives on both sides of the border. Why did this pattern of immigration occur?? The Canadian west had been opened to settlement in the early 1870s\, yet very few immigrants chose to make this region their home. My presentation will tell the remarkable story of why immigration from the US to the Canadian Prairies flourished during the years from 1896 to 1914. I will describe the geographic\, economic\, and political factors that each played a role in the immigration journey for many of our Canadian ancestors. I will also tell what attracted many Germans from Russia to move from the American Midwest to the Canadian prairies.
