Welcome to the BDO-RIG email listserv of the Germans from Russia
Heritage Society (GRHS). Please save this message for future reference. This
list is powered by Mailman, which is managed through a web-based interface, and
is operated in accordance with the by-laws of the GRHS.
This mailing list is provided by the Germans from Russia Heritage
Society. This is a closed list, meaning membership is by INVITATION ONLY.
We welcome "GUESTS" (those who are not members of GRHS yet) to join our listserv on
a trial basis of one (1) year. At the end of the year, if the "guest" has not yet joined
the GRHS, they will be automatically unsubscribed. We hope that everyone finds membership
in the GRHS a valuable resource in your family history research. Information about the GRHS
and how to join can be found at http://www.grhs.org/about/members.htm
We hope that your association with this research discussion group
will be fruitful and enjoyable. We recognize the need to bring together those
people interested in the collection, publication and preservation of our heritage
as Germans from Russia. We will foster the preservation of folklore, songs,
literature, objects of art, genealogies, photos, documents and all applicable
records and do all the other necessary work to carry out the objectives of GRHS
and the BDO RIG.
If you are researching the families of the Beresan area of South Russia,
and would like to become a member of this listserv, please contact
| Valerie Renner Ingram |  | |
for an invitation to join. Please state what surnames and/or villages you are researching.
When you receive your invitation, please follow the directions contained in the message
about your self-introduction. Once that's received, we'll get you signed on! List members are reminded
that this list may not be used for profit and is restricted to GRHS members and guests.
