SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Schön and Sheyn –The Beautiful Harmony Between German-Russian and Russian Jewish Homesteaders \nIn 1938\, the Andrews Sisters’ Bei mir bist du schön (To Me You’re Beautiful) was a big radio hit. Though many believed it was a German song\, it was a song written in Yiddish\, a language spoken by Eastern European Jews. The record company changed the spelling of the word “beautiful” from Yiddish (sheyn) to German (schön). This anecdote opens the door to examine the similarities\, beyond language\, which laid the foundation for the good relationships between the Germans and the Jews\, living near Odessa at the turn of the 20th Century. \nWith an ample sprinkling of heartwarming stories from within and outside of Still (NDSU Press 2019)\, the book I co-wrote with my dad Kenneth Bender\, we will explore the commonalities between these two immigrant groups.  As their lives intertwined again in America\, a beautiful harmony developed. Their intersecting history\, as well as their individual histories\, should be preserved. \nAbout the Speaker\nRebecca E. Bender and her father Kenneth M. Bender are coauthors of Still\, a biography/memoir of five generations of their Jewish family and their communities. Still is the 2019 Independent Press Award Winner (Judaism category) and the 2020 Midwest Book Award Gold Medal Winner (Religion/Philosophy category). Rebecca’s prose and poetry have appeared in The Journal of The American Historical Society of Germans from Russia\, North Dakota Quarterly\, The Jewish Veteran\, the Forward\, Australia’s Jewish Women of Words\, the Minneapolis Star Tribune\, The Northwest Blade\, and Paper Brigade Daily (Jewish Book Council). \nShe has spoken about her family of North Dakota Jewish homesteading farmers at events sponsored by The Minnesota Historical Society\, the North Dakota Historical Society\, the South Dakota Historical Society\, St. John’s University\, the Upper Midwest Jewish Historical Society\, the Homestead National Historical Park\, and the Germans from Russia Heritage Society\, among others. Copies of Still’s second printing (in paperback) are available through NDSUPress.org\, library.ndsu.edu/grhc\, Amazon.com\, or can be ordered through any bookstore. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:A Quest for Relatives in Kazakhstan\nSeveral years ago I discovered a village in northern Kazakhstan named Karamyshevka that was started in 1906 by Germans. Karamyshevka was also the Russian name of Bauer\, the village in the Volga region that was home to my German Russian relatives. I suspected residents of Karamyshevka in the Volga region started the village in Kazakhstan and wondered if my own relatives were involved.\n A few years later a paper was published in the AHSGR journal by Araylym Mussagalieva and Roza Mussabekova\, two scholars from the Eurasian National University who study German Russians in Kazakhstan. I contacted Araylym and suggested that if she ever went to Karamyshevka she might look for the name Bruch or Brug\, my relatives. She responded\, “I’m there now\,” and sent me the names of half-a-dozen Bruchs from a 1920 census.\nOn a visit to Kazakhstan this past September two Kazakh friends offered to take me to Karamyshevka\, Kazakhstan. I expected a simple visit. Then Araylym and Roza offered to come with us. Finally\, a news crew from Kabar.tv\, the national television network of Kazakhstan\, thought it would make a good story and offered to come as well. I set off for Karamyshevka in a news van with my friends\, two experts on German Russians in Kazakhstan\, and a news reporter and videographer. My Treffen Tuesday presentation recalls this adventure.\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Treffen Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:The January and February presentations will be a 2-part sequential exploration of DNA Match Analysis in combination with Volga German migration patterns.  The focus will be on Volga Colony DNA research\, but the concepts are transferrable to all other areas of German genetic genealogical research. \nThe January session will start with a brief overview of key analytical concepts\, beginning with understanding initial test results and then progressing to more intermediate and advanced DNA Match research skills.  A short summary of the characteristics of the four major testing companies will be discussed to assist in the understanding of the company or companies’ resources that may best fit the tester. \nResearch techniques that are important in understanding DNA Match Analysis and the importance of matching segment detail used in a Chromosome Browser will be explored in detail.  Examples of using Chromosome Mapping to help with match analysis back to distant great grandparents (3rd\, 4th\, 5th\, etc.) will be illustrated. \nThe session will conclude with Case Study examples for distant match analysis through the Volga Colony and back into German Villages of Origin. \nAbout the Speaker \nHerb Femling has been doing family history research and German genealogy since the 1980s. As Volga German records started becoming more available in the 1990s he began extending his research into the German Villages of Origin. His German Parish Register research extends from the Northeastern to Central and Southern German Jurisdictions. \nHe has incorporated a strong interest in genetic genealogy over the last 10 years and has been actively utilizing advanced DNA analysis to break through brick walls where records are sparse. Recent presentations have been on DNA research incorporating database analysis. Presentations over the last 25 years to multiple organizations and groups in the Pacific Northwest have covered a variety of German research topics. He is a life member of AHSGR and other organizations. \nHerb grew up on a farm in Vancouver\, Washington which he still operates with his brother. The farm has been active in the family for over a century. His over thirty-year business career involved stints in several industries and spanned multiple functional areas across the entities. \n  \nRegister Here!
