December 2023 SGGEE Journal
In this issue of the SGGEE Journal we published the life and times of Helene Dinda Dilk recounting her experience in Volhynia.  The article was translated and submitted by SGGEE member Karin Dilk-Kant.  SGGEE member Karl Krueger provides a very interesting article on his search using DNA genetic testing for a missing relative that was lost on his return from Siberia following deportation during the First World War.  We have a first-person account from Bruno Ron Shulz detailing his families experience prior to World War II and his personal life story during World War II and move to Canada.  Bob Frederking provides letters that were sent to his grandfather from Volhynia to Canada in 1928.  The first letter written in 1880 was included with the letter that was sent in 1928.  The letters reveal life in Volhynia at the time of their writing.  Finally, we reprinted an article that Jerry Frank had written in the December 2013 Journal that provides an overview on getting the most out of your web inquiries.
