I was born on a farm in Pomona View Township, LaMoure County,
near Kulm, North Dakota in 1939. My paternal (KONRAD, MOGCK) and maternal (SCHULDHEISZ,
KOSANKE) ancestors came from Paris, Klöstitz and Alt-Postal, Bessarabia.
In 1959, I married Mary Lu Patton. Her maternal ancestors (GALL, GRAMITA) came
from Rohrbach and Worms, Beresan District. We have three children and 18
grandchildren. I was ordained into the Christian ministry in 1966 and served
within The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod as missionary to Ghana, Liberia,
Botswana and South Africa for about 20 years.
I also served as parish pastor in North American congregations in Saskatchewan,
South Dakota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. In the 1980s, I put in over 500 hours as a
licensed single engine private pilot. When called to serve in the Kalahari
Desert, I put that hobby to rest. My wife and I entered retirement in 2003 and
are living in Eastern Iowa. Now my primary hobbies are carpentry, genealogy
research and turning German documents into English for the benefit of others. My
German-speaking upbringing allows for a feel of the language, but after years
away from North Dakota German speakers, to do translating I find comfort in the
well-worn dictionary at my side.

1988 Heritage Review
As World War II started to gain momentum in Europe in 1939, the officials of the German Reich began to make plans for the repatriation of ethnic Germans from nations to their east. They gathered statistics on how many people they might be dealing with, identifying areas in the ethnic Germans' place of origin where people would be gathered for repatriation and also the transit camps in the Reich where these people would be processed for resettlement, identifying the personnel which would be in charge of these transition points, and selecting territories in the Reich where these ethnic Germans would eventually be relocated.

Resettlement Minutes of 1940 from DAI Film #317
(posted Dec. 2006)
At the beginning of WWI, Romania associated itself with the Central Powers
(Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany and the Ottoman Empire). In 1916,
Romanian left the Central Powers and joined up with the Allied Forces. At
the end of the war in 1918, Romania was rewarded by receiving some
additional territory, including Bessarabia. Romania was granted the right to
administer this territory which Russia had to give up to Germany when it
signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk on 3 March 1918. By 1940, Germany had
conquered much of western Europe and was moving south and east into eastern
Europe. German troops occupied Romania by October of 1940 and Romania joined
the German side in the war. At the same time, the Russians were moving
westward into Bessarabia in order to reclaim land they had once ruled. This
set the stage for a confrontation between Germany and Russia within
Bessarabia.

Permits Filed at LaMoure County 1925-1970 (posted Jul 2009)
The first burial permit in the LaMoure Co. Courthouse is dated 1925. This
53-page document includes over 2,570 names. Along with the name, it includes
a date of birth or age at time of death, the place of death, where buried,
and date of burial. Cause of death has been excluded from this document for
personal privacy reasons. Due to the page size of this document, the last
column of information has also been excluded. This column shows those burial
permits which noted the birth-place of the deceased, the names of parents or
next of kin, whether the body was cremated or stored for burial at a later
date, or the grave location in the cemetery where the body was buried.
