It is with deep sadness that the Foundation for East European Family History Studies (FEEFHS) announces the passing of our friend, colleague, and longtime supporter, Joseph "Joe" Everett. 

After 32 years of dedicated service to the Foundation for East European Family History Studies (FEEFHS), Dr. Thom Edlund has retired from his educational roles within the organization. We express our heartfelt gratitude for his decades of commitment, vision, and service to the East European genealogical community.
