AHSGR Convention, Billings, Montana
What a wonderful convention. It is always great to reconnect with people who share a common love for ancestors and our heritage. As you can tell, there was plenty to keep us busy. Even if you don't polka, it's fun to listen to the music and watch others share their talent. As always, the Intermountain Chapter had an awesome basket for the Silent Auction. Thanks Billings!
Consider These Resources
Here is a description of a series of books that might aid you in locating the parish where a person's ancestors could
have attended church before emigrating to Russia and where some records might exist about them. This reference is from a posting on GER-VOLGA by Jerry Goertzen, 21 Nov 2010.
In his message Jerry wrote, "I usually use the German Guides to Parish Registers, by Kevan Hansen. This was a series of books of all the German Kingdoms, etc. that show the Districts, Kreis and the Church Parishes for the different religions. They also show the villages that belong to each Parish. The series has completed 33 of the proposed 55 Volumes."
These books may be ordered from several sources including (some of the volumes) from Amazon. Jerry suggested ordering from Family Roots Publishing, http://www.
GERMAN MAP GUIDES
"A primary FRPC focus is on the publication of the Map Guide to German Parish Registers. This series stands currently at fifty and will reach fifty-five. Volume 50 - Map Guide to German Parish Registers, Pomerania II, is now
shipping. Please note that In addition to the Map Guides, we now distribute a large number of Germanic genealogy-related guides printed by other publishers, posted under the category of Foreign - Germany."
"The volumes are available in SLC at the Family History Center. I'm pretty sure they cannot be obtained via inter-library loan or from your local Family History library (when I last tried the answer was no). I used several of the volumes when I was in SLC for the AHSGR convention and found them useful for what I wanted (something to help me focus my search for my own family records). The volume titled Grandduchy of Hessen (Map Guide to German Parish Registers, Volume 1)" Paperback - 2004 was very useful ($34.95 + shipping from Amazon.) They use to only be available in hardback for about $90 so paperback is a welcome change."
