MEMBERSHIP REMINDER
Just a reminder that ZVA annual dues of $10 are based on the calendar year. Please check your dues status on the web site. Go to Your Profile in the user menu and look at the last item in the column on the right side of the page where it says “Dues paid to the end of: ____” If you have not paid for 2014, please remit your dues using one of the options described on the Membership page. From September on, I will credit new members for the following year. I will downgrade unrenewed members on the web site in April of each year to give you plenty of grace. We are continually adding new content to the Members Only parts of the site. If you are not connected to the Internet, just drop me a line at the address below and I will update you. Thanks for contributing to our common cause.
OBITUARIES
Peter Noll, who compiled the first typewritten family list from the Zichydorf church records, passed away 16 Dec 2013. His work was the base for Helmut Kaiser’s electronic version with which most of us are familiar. Some of us had the pleasure of meeting Peter in Germany in 2006. Long-time Regina member Norm Stetner passed away March 9. The husband of member Roberta Howe passed away some time ago.
NEW IN THE LIBRARY
Darrel Hockley has kindly donated the two volume Dolatz Familienbuch to our library section at the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society. Thank you Darrel! This two-volume set covers Dolatz and the nearby filial communities of Gier, Rudna, and Tolwadia. It is a high quality publication that seems to be well researched. It includes histories of the three villages other than Rudna, family groupings, and indices of female spouses’ names and place names. One unusual feature is an index of occupations where they are stated in the records. This is a German language book.
2014 BANAT TOUR
We have a full complement for our tour. We will depart from Frankfurt on June 2 and return on June 20. If you want to follow along, I will be posting a blog at 2014banat.blogspot.ca.
