President's Message
by Irmgard Hein Ellingson
e-mail: irmgard@WCTAtel.net

It has been my pleasure to lecture at the 1994, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 FEEFHS conferences where I have had the opportunity to make many friends, to learn, and to grow in appreciation of the family history research field. Unfortunately I was forced to cancel my participation this year at almost the last minute and missed an exciting, productive event. I want to thank 1st vice president Laura Hanowski for acting on my behalf and also thank vice president and convention chair Kahlile Mehr for his continued leadership.

My two-year term as the FEEFHS president is scheduled to end on 31 December 2003. A person in my position is often labeled as a lame duck, someone who is about to be replaced in office. Usually this implies that the officeholder has been defeated and is marking time or treading water. But thanks to the positive and ongoing leadership of founding president Charles Hall and past president Dr. Duncan Gardiner, I continue to fulfill my duties with enthusiasm. It is exciting to be a part of this organization's work, which includes:
- annual conferences with presentations by international leaders in our field,
- an annual Journal that receives international recognition for its outstanding quality,
- an electronic newsletter that is now accessible on our web site,
- a more attractive, dynamic web site that is undergoing systemic review and upgrading,
- a stable financial position that is monitored by the executive council in general and the president and treasurer in particular, and
- a solid base of international cooperation, most notably by the U.S. and Canadian researchers who serve as members of the executive council and organizational leadership.

All of these things continue to happen because committed individuals and organizations share in the FEEFHS vision of DIVERSITY - UNITY - HARMONY. These principles focus our thoughts upon our mutual objectives and operating principles when challenges arise. As the president of FEEFHS, I have great respect and appreciation for each and every one of you who peacefully participates in our field. Working with people like you is a joy for me and a source of hope for a conflicted world.

According to the FEEFHS constitution, the executive council consists of a president, three vice presidents, a secretary, a treasurer, the newsletter [Journal] editor, and the two immediate living past presidents. Both the webmaster and the editor of the electronic newsletter have been included as part of the organizational leadership in the past few years. All elected positions are two-year terms with elections taking place by mail at the end of years that end with odd numbers [e.g., 2001, 2003, 2005]. Therefore we recognize and thank those individuals who will be leaving the council at the end of 2003. These include:
- 1st vice president Laura Hanowski, chair for our successful Regina conference,
- secretary Teresa Reese, who has organized the minutes of our meetings,
- previous past president John D. Movius, a FEEFHS founder and previous webmaster.

Several incumbents, vice presidents Kahlile Mehr and Marsha Gustad as well as treasurer Miriam Hall-Hansen, are seeking re-election to the council. Editors Thomas Edlund and John C. Alleman and webmaster Ceil Jensen will continue in their appointed capacities. Dr. Duncan Gardiner and I will be serving as the two immediate past presidents.
Nominees for the vacancies on the FEEFHS executive council were announced at the July conference in Salt Lake City. They are:
- Dave Obee for president; journalist, lecturer, owner of Genealogy Unlimited,
- Mila Ranovic for secretary; former FEEFHS secretary, moderator of the Serbia Research List (SERBRL),
- Brian J. Lenius for vice president, FEEFHS founding member, president of the East European Genealogical Society.

These individuals share the FEEFHS vision and have a commitment to the creative, responsible growth of our organization. Thank you for accepting your nominations, Dave, Mila, and Brian! We also acknowledge and thank Duncan for his work in the nominations process.

A lame duck is only as lame as he or she chooses to be. I do not choose to be a lame duck, nor does our council. With your partnership, great things can and will continue to happen when people choose to work together. This newsletter, the upcoming edition of the Journal, our web site, our recent event in Salt Lake City, and next year's conference in metro Detroit will be only some of the achievements in which our dreams take flight!

Convention report
by Kahlile Mehr
e-mail: mehrkbm@fastmail.fm

Participants from Europe and North America gathered to Salt Lake City for the 10th Annual FEEFHS International Conference, held 18-20 July 2003. Held close to the Family History Library, it provided a perfect forum not only for learning about the records of eastern Europe but also for using that knowledge immediately to mine the collection from over a hundred nations found at the Library. The collection now offers over forty thousands new rolls of material from eastern Europe acquired during a decade of microfilming.

There were twenty-three presenters including two from Europe. Katarzyna Grycza from Poland provided the native perspective on Polish research and records and Jutta Missal from Luxembourg discussed the complexities of translating the historic languages and archaic scripts of European genealogical sources. In plenary sessions, Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak introduced the relatively new topic of DNA evidence establishing ancestral links and Kahlile Mehr reviewed the microfilm acquisitions program of the Family History Library. In banquet speeches, Dave Obee cautioned against the pitfalls of misusing evidence and the profoundimpact of genealogical endeavor on those who engage in the process; and Lisa Alzo demonstrated the value of placing your ancestors in the context of the times in which they lived.

Many positive comments were received on the quality of the presentations and the comprehensive breadth of subjects covered in the program. There were also plaudits for the quality of the food and accommodations. The sense of camaraderie and mutual appreciation of those engaged in this somewhat obscure branch of genealogical endeavor made this a pleasant and memorable experience.

Awards were given to Thomas Edlund, the founding editor of the FEEFHS Journal, Miriam Hall Hansen, the executive assistant/treasurer 2002-2003, and Irmgard Hein Ellingson, president 2002-2003. New officer candidates were announced and will be voted on later this year: Dave Obee, president, Kahlile Mehr, Marsha Gustad and Brian J. Lenius, vice-presidents; Mila Ranovic, secretary; and Miriam Hall-Hansen, treasurer.

Polish Genealogical Society of America
Reaching a quarter-century milestone

by Rosalie Lindberg
e-mail: Rosalindy@aol.com

In the 70s, most people thought genealogy had something to do with rocks but not family. But one group has made the word part of its name since 1978. This year the Polish Genealogical Society of America (PGSA) is celebrating its 25th Anniversary and has the distinction of being the oldest Polish genealogical society around.

In Chicago, the Polish Museum of America and its library was a magnet for those doing Polish research and it was there researchers formed the nucleus for the first organization dedicated specifically to Polish genealogical research. Since that time 25 years ago, PGSA has continued not only to expand its membership, but to change and reinvent itself to adapt to the times.

This year, October 3rd through 5th will be the highlight of the Society's celebration when it gathers at the Ramada O'Hare for its annual conference fittingly titled, "Where It All Began." It will offer attendees the opportunity to learn more about their own ancestral beginnings under the guidance of speakers Stephen Barthel, John Philip Colletta, Ceil Jensen, and Brian Lenius and will look back at the first days of the society through the eyes of Joseph Dressel, one of its founders. Friday's workshop and reception will provide the opportunity to welcome Iwona Dakiniewicz, PGSA's Polish Correspondent and to share questions with Fred Hoffman, editor of the PGSA Journal, Rodziny. Entertainment at the Saturday lunch will be provided by the Lajkonik Polish dancers and that evening a special celebration dinner will be held at the European Crystal restaurant.

Over the years the Polish Genealogical Society of America has shared a wealth of information with its members through its regular publications such as the Rodziny, books catering to the Polish researcher, and its website www.pgsa.org, which logs 9000 hits daily. Four meetings a year and the annual conference provide learning opportunities and the chance for members to meet personally. As a new feature at this year's conference, attendees are invited to share their research success by displaying the fruits of their labor at special "Share Your Success" tables.

PGSA is a wonderful example of what the spirit of volunteerism and cooperation can do. It is proud to be part of the groundswell of pride in family heritage that began 25 years ago and which promises to continue through numerous genealogical organizations-American and Ethnic, Polish and non-Polish-into the future. The society is grateful to all who have contributed to the growth and success of genealogy for the last quarter century.

May the love of family history that we all have pursued so diligently be our legacy for the centuries to come.

East Prussia originally meant only one district (Regierungsbezirk) in the Province of Prussia. In 1824/29, the provinces of Prussia and West Prussia were united into one province of Prussia, with 4 districts in 1878 separated into 2 provinces of West Prussia and East Prussia. Boundaries of Province of Pomerania were basically unchanged. The names of the districts Regierungsbezirk Hinterpommern, Regierungsbezirk Alt-Vorpommern, and Regierungsbezirk Neu-Vorpommern were later abandoned and superseded by district capital names: Regierungsbezirk Köslin, Regierungsbezirk Stettin, and Regierungsbezirk Stralsund. The alternative name for Regierungsbezirk Hinterpommern proposed before 1815 was Regierungsbezirk Kassuben, as it covered the Duchies of Cassubia and Vandalia.

Some Useful Websites

by Marsha Gustad
e-mail: mgust@aol.com

 

Plattdeutsch (from Amy Uehara)

Leewe Fruenn or Leve Fruenn. There are many variant spellings of the alternate words depending on the region for Low German or Low Saxony? Here is a page telling the origin of the greeting "moin" or "moin moin" . It is part of a larger website introduced to me by Karl-Heinz Becker a while back with emphasis on Hamborg Plattdeutsch, available in English and German. It's a great site and worth checking out. Have fun!
