It was suggested that village coordinators advise our readers to send copies of their ancestral and family group charts to international headquarters in Lincoln.

At our village night meeting I asked the Huck group what were some of the things they would like published in the newsletters. Suggested items were pictures of families, picture of the Huck church and school and genealogy charts. Does anyone have a picture of the church in Huck? I inquired at international Headquarters and with the help of Frances Amen who does the cataloging for pictures, articles etc. we searched, but could not find a picture of the church.

So, how about those Huck Pictures!

A special thanks to Lillian Bailey, of Portland, Oregon who at the convention gave me a full sheet of postage stamps along with ancestral and family group charts on a Huck family. Some of those stamps are on this mailing of "Die Huckere".

Thanks also to Marlene Michel of Calgary, Alberta, Canada for sending me the picture for the front page. Since Marlene was not in that picture I used the above from my prints. Marlene is standing in the back.

From several sources I have learned that the census material and church books from the village of Huck and Grimm cannot be found and are missing. So at this time I would suggest that you wait before you order any material from Russia and hope that soon these records will be found and available to us.

GOOD NEWS

Before the end of the convention we knew that funds will be available for Rick Rye from the AHSGR international office to return to Russia to continue his visits to the different archives there.
