Merck Family - Random Notes

Joseph John Merck, with his wife, Katherine Cecilia Eberle, brought his family from the Ukraine to the United States in 1912. This site will contain some random notes and comments about the family background, their experiences, the places they lived, and other subjects related to that topic. No particular organization of comments or articles should be expected.

In The Valley of the Kutchergan

In the Valley of the Kutchergan, a book By Ida Katherina Bohn Senger, is the history of families who lived through difficult times in Alsace, France, then emigrated to South Russia just as did our Merck ancestors. Some folks who have read this book describe it as an easy to read description of their lives and the history of those times. The book is available from the North Dakota State University Library. More information is available at the link below as well as a review of the book. I intend to order a copy.

My third post in my series on the 1942 mobilization of Russian-Germans into industrial forms of forced labor is now up. The post is under the title, "On the Organization of Detachments of Mobilized Germans in Camps of the NKVD USSR." It deals with the legal adminstration and material supply of Russian-Germans in labor army work sites in the Gulag.
