Central Oklahoma Chapter

Welcome! 

The purpose of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia is to bring together people interested in the history of Germans from Russia. Through a better understanding of Germans from Russia, we will promote a better appreciation of their history and the preservation of their culture through their descendants.

 Chapter News:

The Central Oklahoma Chapter of AHSGR sponsors 2 scholarships annually of $1000 to children of Germans from Russia.  We sponsor two fundraisers for our Scholarship Fund; 1) sale of cookbooks (see link on left) and 2) an annual quilt raffle with tickets sold at all of our meetings during the year.  Our General Fund is supported by membership dues, donations, and the sale of the booklet, “The Other Germans: Settlements of Germans from Russia in Oklahoma and Texas” (see link on left).

Our first meeting of the year will be March 25, 2023 at Our Lord’s Lutheran Church at 10:00 am.  Our speaker will be Sherrie Furber, director of the Oklahoma City Family Search Center.  Sherrie will be presenting a hands-on program on using Family Search in your genealogy quest, especially the new “app”, and new innovations to Family Search.
