“Our German Russian Heritage April 21– Founder’s Day
Our
Lord’s Lutheran Church 2900 W. Hefner Rd. OKC Registration 12:30– lunch 1:00p.m. We will be privileged to have Dr. John te Velde present “Heritage Germans of Oklahoma: Out of few came many and much.” Dr. te Velde of OSU’s Department of Languages and Literatures was the recipient of an Oklahoma Humanities grant to research heritage Germans in Oklahoma who still today maintain aspects of German culture. The central thesis of Dr. te Velde’s research is that settlers of Oklahoma whose common bond was German culture brought with them a unique resilience that enabled them to preserve important aspects of their culture and to pass along their cultural heritage to future generations. His presentation will include recording of Plautdietsch still spoken today by descendants of Germans from Russia. He would be very grateful for help with identifying more speakers! In Keeping with Dr. te Velde’s theme, please bring a favorite German dish, along with the recipe and, if you wish, a story about how it fits into your family tradition. Please encourage anyone who still speaks some German to come with you— we need them. | Board Members Chapter President 1st Vice President 2nd Vice President Recording Secretary Treasurer Standing Committes Historian Membership Delbert Amen (405)751-9029 delbertamen@cox.net Newsletter Editor Scholarship Hospitality Web Admins & Technology Howard Foote hfoote@cox.net Genealogy Research
