"The database includes extractions of more than 22,000 birth and marriage events ... for the Lutheran colonies of Glückstal, Neudorf, Bergdorf, Kassel, and their daughter colonies in the province of Cherson, Imperial Russia"--P. ii.
This is the first volume of "Pennsylvania German Church Records," a three-volume series which gives the genealogist access to all of the church records ever published in the Proceedings and Addresses of the Pennsylvania German Society. In each of the three volumes are births, baptisms, marriages and burials, the records that identify people and their relationships to one another--not only parents and children, husbands and wives, but witnesses and sponsors as well. A staggering 125,000 persons are mentioned in these records, and every one of them is cited in the new indexes, which have been painstakingly compiled especially for this publication. The records themselves answer the usual who, where and when questions, but because of their magnitude, because of the vast number of people who figure in these records, they must now be accounted, in the aggregate, as the very basis of Pennsylvania-German genealogy.
This monograph, published to accompany Housley s solo exhibition of paintings at the Reg Vardy Gallery, 2005, is the result of a year-long residency at Durham Cathedral. Painting, for Housley, is a "dumb muse": a medium which, whilst only able to offer still, silent and hand-made single images, is also able to offer the most complex, nuanced and double-edged forms of visual experience. Working on an intimate scale, Housley's images elicit an unlikely poignancy and tenderness from subject matter that might initially seem to offer slight returns.
Includes proceedings, addresses and annual reports.
