SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:The Murray Method \nTreffen Tuesday; March 26\, 2024 \nMarilyn (Reh) Murray \nMarilyn will share a background history and an audio-visual explanation of the Murray Method. \nThis method is described as an effective approach to becoming a Healthy Balanced Person – physically\, intellectually\, emotionally\, and spiritually. It is a guideline for living and provides a clear and concise explanation for the consequences of difficult and painful experiences.  The Murray Method enables wholeness beyond trauma\, abuse\, neglect\, and addiction. \nSince its inception in 1981\, the Murray Method has been widely taught and employed internationally\, especially in the former USSR.  During this time\, the main therapeutic emphasis dealt with moving beyond childhood trauma and also addressing present day issues such as relationship problems\, addictions\, financial difficulties and so forth. \nHowever\, with the arrival of the war in Ukraine\, the Murray Method now has been effectively utilized by psychologists\, therapists\, and clergy (who were previously trained in the method) who now are working with war trauma victims.  They are using the Murray Method in individual and group sessions held in person\, and in online sessions with refugees throughout Ukraine and Europe.  Murray Method videos in Ukrainian are also now available with a wide audience. \nIn response to the great need for more intensive therapy\, the Murray Method War Trauma Rehabilitation Center was established in early 2023 and is located in a large\, 4-story house on acreage in a suburb of Poltava\, Ukraine.   A two-week inpatient\, intensive therapy program is provided here twice monthly at no cost for 25 war survivors.  Approximately 700 women and men have received this special gift thus far. \nA high percentage of Ukrainians suffer from PTSD.  Almost everyone is grieving the loss of a family member and/or a close friend as a result of the war.  Many have lost their homes and their possessions.  It is a huge national tragedy\, and the results will remain for generations.  The Murray Method is helping reduce the long-term effects of this trauma. \nThe method also is being applied with survivors of the present war in Israel as well as persons impacted by recent school shootings in the States.  (More detailed information regarding the Murray Method is available on the website: www.murraymethod.com ) \nMARILYN (Reh) MURRAY \nRecognized internationally as an educator\, theorist\, author\, and psychotherapist\, Marilyn was a pioneer in the treatment of trauma\, abuse and deprivation\, and their correlation with addictions.  She began creating and teaching her Murray Method theory and treatment modalities starting in 1983 including the widely used Trauma Egg and Circles of Intimacy.   She has taught her method for universities in the US and internationally with students from 40 countries. \nFrom 2002 to 2018\, she lived and worked nearly half-time in Russia where she presented her method to over 4\,000 health professionals and clergy in the former USSR.  She also has been a guest professor at major Russian universities including Moscow State University.  There are Murray Method International Centers in Russia\, Ukraine\, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. \nHer paternal grandparents were born in small villages near Saratov and immigrated to America.  Unfortunately\, their families who remained in Russia suffered greatly under the Stalinist terror and repression.  Marilyn has visited her family villages numerous times and has a special love for this country.  She also has cousins in Siberia and other parts of Russia. \nShe has been a life member of AHSGR since 1998 and has shared her knowledge of Russia at several AHSGR conventions. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:October – Maggie Hein\, “Is This Really My Ancestor?” \nPresentation: \nAre you using genealogy web sites to research your Germans from Russia ancestors?  Is your family tree online?  The big genealogy web sites (Ancestry\, Family Search\, My Heritage) can be wonderful tools for locating records and making connections to your ancestors.  They can also offer you misleading\, unproven and false information.  How do you sort out the good information from the bad?  What is unique about Germans from Russia research that results in so little accurate data online? \nIn this presentation we will talk about how to assess the accuracy of the genealogy data you find online.  We will discuss what records the big web sites have and more importantly what records they don’t have.  We will talk about the reliability of different types of sources and how to steer clear of unproven data.  The goal of this presentation is to give you the information you need to confidently use these web sites and accurately document your family history. \nBiography: \nMaggie Hein is a volunteer AHSGR Village Coordinator for the Volga German village of Frank. She is one of the administrators of the Volga Germans web site (www.volgagermans.org). Maggie’s genealogy research focuses on Germans who migrated to Russia in 1766 to settle in the lower Volga River region. She has used German church records to document hundreds of the German families who settled in Volga German Villages between 1763 and 1773\, identifying previously unknown origin locations for many families. When she isn’t doing genealogy research\, she is a tax accountant and co-owner of a CPA firm in the Chicago suburbs.

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:June – Dr. Mila Koretnikov\, “Tracing Our Volga-German Heritage: A Comparative Look at Tours to Ancestral Village in Germany and Russia” \nPresentation: \nIn 2016-2019 the Volga German Tour group – Dr. Mila Koretnikov\, Sergey Koretnikov and Dr. Brent Mai\, took approximately 250 people from the USA\, Canada\, and Argentina on tours to the Volga German Colonies of their ancestors in Russia.  Although they planned to expand the tours to Siberia\, the current situation in Russia made it impossible to do so. \nPeople continued to ask about future travel and the Volga German Tour group decided to take interested people to their ancestral homes\, their German origin homes\, in Germany.  In 2022-2023 forty-four people visit their villages of origin in Germany. \nAlthough Mila and her group thought that the tours would be very different from the tours to Russia\, they were in for a surprise.  What they found was that the trips to villages in Russia and Germany were more similar than expected. \nJoin us on June 27\, at 2:30 pm as Dr. Mila Koretnikov shares the similarities and differences they found doing numerous tours to both Russia and Germany. \nBiography: \nDr. Mila Koretnikov is a lecturer and coordinator of the Technical English program at the University of Applied Sciences in Karlsruhe\, Germany\, and a lecturer in intercultural communication at the Cooperative University of Baden-Wuerttemberg in Karlsruhe\, Germany. \nDr. Koretnikov grew up in Saratov\, Russia in a Volga-German family and holds degrees from Saratov State University. She did her post-doc study at the University of Wyoming and taught summer courses for K-12 teachers at Otero Junior College\, La Junta\, Colorado. \nMila Koretnikov has been doing research in Russian archives for more than 20 years helping hundreds of individuals from the USA\, Germany\, Argentina\, Brazil\, and Canada find information on their ancestors. In 2016-2019 together with Dr. Brent Mai she led tours to Volga-German ancestral villages in Russia and starting with 2022 – to Volga-German ancestral villages in Germany. \nShe has lived in Germany since 2006.

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:May – Dr. Eric J. Schmaltz\, “Our Memories Build Our Future: Germans from Russia Still on the Move in the 21st Century” \nPresentation: \nThis presentation is based on the banquet talk given at the 2022 AHSGR International Convention held in Lincoln\, Nebraska.   It reflects on the group’s history\, including “The Double Stigma” as Germans and Russians during the two world wars and Cold War period\, and its overcoming of occasional adversity in the new homelands.  It also considers the group’s global success story in many fields of endeavor.  It concludes about the ways in which the group has reached an inflection point\, “coming full circle” at this time in its development\, and reflects on where German from Russia descendants find themselves today. \nBiography: \nEric J. Schmaltz earned a Ph.D. in History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2002.  Since 2005\, he has taught Mod­ern European\, American\, and World History at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva and in 2019 began serving as Departmental Chair of Social Sciences. In 2014\, he received the John Barton Distinguished Teaching and Service Award at his university and has been nominated for it on four other occasions.  His research concentrates on Modern Germany and Modern Russia with an emphasis on ethnic and nationality issues\, as well as German migration topics. \nOver the past three decades\, he has contributed a variety of articles and translations to AHSGR\, GRHS\, and the North Dakota State University Libraries in Fargo and has given frequent public talks both at home and abroad.  His other articles and reviews have appeared in local newspapers\, magazines\, interdisciplinary journals\, and major international edited volumes.  From 2010 to 2020\, he served as editor of the GRHS Heritage Review quarterly.  Since 2008\, he has served on the AHSGR Journal’s editorial board as well.  He is also co-founder and co-director of the endowed Northwestern Oklahoma State University Institute for Citizenship Studies and since 2021 is the Donovan L.

SUMMARY:AHSGR Book Club: The Last Green Valley
DESCRIPTION:Join us in a book club discussing of The Last Green Valley by best-selling author Mark Sullivan. Mark will be speaking at the AHSGR Convention in Greeley\, Colorado.\n\nThe Last Green Valley is a work of historical fiction\, inspired by a true story. The Martels are one of many families of German heritage whose ancestors have farmed in Ukraine for more than a century. But after already living under Stalin’s horrifying regime\, Emil and Adeline decide they must run in retreat from their land with the wolves they despise to escape the Soviets and go in search of freedom. Caught between two warring forces and overcoming horrific trials to pursue their hope of emigrating to the West\, the Martels’ story is a brutal\, complex\, and ultimately triumphant tale that illuminates the extraordinary power of love\, faith\, and one family’s incredible will to survive and see their dreams realized.\n\nRegister for book club here: Last Green Valley Book Club Sign Up\n\nMore information about convention here: AHSGR 2023 Convention
