February 2018

Volume III, Number 2

Note from the Editor

Look how full our February and March Calendar of Events is! And don't forget – we have a bit of a conundrum this year – both Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday are on February 14. Hmmmm .... candy or no candy? Perhaps it is a good time to show our love to the Lord and to all of those around us. Be sure to show your support for as many of the Kolping events that you can. Our Fish Fries begin on February 16th this year, and we have the Celebration Dance, Schlachtfest, King's Ball, and St. Joseph Prayer Service and Easter Egg Hunt all coming up!

Treu Kolping!

Amended Kolping Bylaws

By now, you have received either an E-mail with the proposed Kolping Bylaws attached, or a letter indicating that you can pick up a copy of the proposed bylaws at either the general meeting on February 2nd or the Seniors meeting on February 13th. If you cannot pick up a copy at either meeting, please contact a Kolping Board member to make arrangements to get a copy. We will be discussing and voting on passing the new bylaws at the general meeting on Friday, March 2nd. We will need a two thirds majority of the people at the meeting to pass the bylaws, so we would appreciate your participation. Many people have put in long hours in reviewing the bylaws, last amended in 2007, in attempting to update, modernize, and make them more relevant for our times. Please take the time to review them, and if you have any questions or concerns, contact Tom Musbach at 513-793-1148 or [email protected], or Nancy Pelzel at 513-385-3120 or [email protected].

THANK YOU!

Kolping Genealogy

The February 18th session will focus on the types of German census records summarized in a new book by Dr. Roger P. Minert. His latest masterpiece focuses on German Census Records 1816-1916 and was just published in 2016. The first four chapters review the History of Census records in the German States, the 1867 Great Transition, the Records of the German Empire from 1871-1918, concluding with a review of Census Records in the German States from 1816 to 1864. The next 40+ chapters highlight each duchy/state/ kingdom/principality/free city/province beginning with Anhalt and Baden through Westpreußen and Wüerttemberg, offering specific information on research in these places. The last few chapters conclude on What Do We Know Now?, Writing to Archives in Germany, France and Poland, and actually conducting census research in these same places. Bring a pad of paper to take notes. We will meet at 2:00 pm in the Clubhouse. Dr. Tom Montgomery, [email protected], [email protected], 513-969-5383
