Family History: More than Just Names
Registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_TLdKMcm5R3GSbbS7Lb8lSg
This year’s Web-Kon will feature stories from two long-time GHGA members, Elfriede Stiene Stonitsch and Anita Roschitz Schumann.
Elfriede Stiene Stonitsch, past GHGA President, was born in the resettlement area to a Gottscheer father, whose family owned a vineyard, and a Slovenian mother. Ellie will touch on her personal memories and experiences before and after her arrival in the US in 1950, as well as what her parents experienced.
Anita’s presentation will cover two topics. “One Family, One Name, Many Spellings” uses the evolution of her family name over time, geography, and language as an example to consider in family research. “The Roschitz Family – From Gottschee to Kansas City” follows her family’s emigration story from Gottschee to Kansas City, Kansas.
