Family Heritage Fair
The Giekau Church District Researchers Group will be holding it’s second
Family Heritage Fair August 5, 2006 in Emerson Nebraska. The families
that came
from the Giekau area will be setting out pedigree charts, descendancy
sheets, family pictures, area census and pictures of the towns and
villages in the
Giekau area.
Larry Hodne, who has not found any Giekau ancestors yet but does have
family
close by in the Probstei area, has agreed to help set up the German
Friends
and Neighbors tables. This will be for the families that come from
Schönberg, Probsteierhagen, Lebrade, Lutjenburg and Selent church
districts. Our
other neighbor from further away may add your information also but chances
of
making a connection will of course be slimmer. All we ask is that you
have
either your snail mail or e-mail address on your information so if there
is a
connection the other family can contact you.
You may E-mail Larry at _hal21@IowaTelecom.net_
(mailto:hal21@IowaTelecom.net) .
There will also be a genealogy workshop dealing with local Nebraska
history,
Schleswig/Holstein History, Prussian History and just general topics on
genealogy. Anyone that is interested may attend and you can get more
information
