The Kratz Family History
John Valentine Kratz (1707-1780) emigrated from Germany to America on the ship "Friendship" in 1727, settling in Salford Township, Philadel phia (now Montgomery) County, Pennsylvania. He was married to Ann Clemens, by whom he had nine children. Many descendants of this large Mennonite family remained in Pennsylvania, while others migrated to Canada or moved into many other of the United States.
The Sherk Family
Ulrich Sherk (1703-1766) married Maria Grundbach in 1730, and in 1752 they emigrated from Switzerland to Philadelphia, and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Their only known child, John Sherk (1745/1750-1837), a Mennonite, married Barbara Berg about 1772/1773, and moved in 1795 to Welland County, Ontario. Descendants (some spelling the surname Scherich, Scherck or Schürch) lived in Ontario, British Columbia and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to New York, Michigan, Iowa, California and elsewhere in the United States.

Interview Research in Political Science
Interviews are a frequent and important part of empirical research in political science, but graduate programs rarely offer discipline-specific training in selecting interviewees, conducting interviews, and using the data thus collected. Interview Research in Political Science addresses this vital need, offering hard-won advice for both graduate students and faculty members. The contributors to this book have worked in a variety of field locations and settings and have interviewed a wide array of informants, from government officials to members of rebel movements and victims of wartime violence, from lobbyists and corporate executives to workers and trade unionists. The authors encourage sch...
Tutoring Matters
Inside each of us is the promise of a tutor. If you've ever taught a child to tie her shoe, or helped a friend with his homework, or even helped a stranger understand a posted sign, you have it in you to empower others through learning. Tutors are allowed to do what teachers and parents are often not able to do. They can be patient, observe, question, support, challenge, and applaud. They can move towards nurturing the true and total intelligence of their tutees. Learning to tutor is simply overcoming fears, sharing and acquiring knowledge, and appreciating the potential and wisdom in each other. Tutoring Matters is the authoritative manual for both the aspiring and seasoned tutor. Using fir...
The Rights of the Child
How can human rights for children born outside their national jurisdiction with parents deemed as terrorists be safeguarded? In what ways do children risk being discriminated in their welfare rights in Sweden when treated as invisible part of a family? How can we do research on children’s rights in not just ethically sensitive ways but also with respect for children as rights subjects? And what could be a theory on social justice for children? These are questions discussed in studies from different disciplines concerning children’s international human rights, with a special focus on the realization of the CRC in Sweden.
Creative Teamwork
Creative Team Work describes a new way of doing rapid ethnography to capture the rich complexity and contradictions of social relations. It is about the imagination, stimulation, and reflection that can come with international, interdisciplinary teams sharing the development, application, analysis, and dissemination of research. Although the book is based on a large, seven-year project studying care homes to search for promising practices and is guided by feminist political economy, the lessons we have learned are relevant for everyone undertaking empirical investigation. All research needs to consider theory -- the organization of information, ethics, and dissemination, for example. The specific techniques and approaches the authors discuss can be applied to a wide range of qualitative methods and are not exclusive to this kind of ethnography. By dissecting experiences and uniting chapters through the theme of creative, reflexive team work, the book considers issues and methods of interest to all those struggling through the research process, with or without team support.
