Barbara Stenzel is a retired German teacher, with experience from grades 6 – 12 in the German Bilingual Program in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She has volunteered for HSGPV – Historical Society of German from Poland & Volhynia for a number of years. Her father was born in Volhynia and thus her interest in the area. She is currently working on her family history.
Barbara has joined our speaker team for the 2024 convention on the topic "SGGEE Library Tour …. We’re happy to help you!"
The SGGEE Library is located in central Edmonton, Alberta in the heart of the Strathcona historical district. It is hosted by HSGPV – Historical Society of Germans from Poland and Volhynia – home of Ewald Wuschke’s Wandering Volhynians. Barbara will provide a tour of the resources and how volunteers can help with your research, whether you live in the Edmonton area or further afield.
HSGPV has hosted the SGGEE library since 2019 and its volunteers catalogued the collection. HSGPV also hosts the Edmonton chapter of the AHSGR library, as well as having its own library collection. Volunteers enjoy helping people with their family research, whether in-person, via email, telephone or Zoom. Do you have a copy of your family history in our library? SGGEE’s home page has a link to the library and it is keyword searchable. Each family history also includes a short summary with main geographical locations and surnames to facilitate your research.
