Hi,
Thanks for responding with your information. I've read quite a bit about the Germans from Russia and have a lot of the family genealogy. In May my sister and I were able to attend a small Isaak gathering in Minnesota. Fred, your cousin?, and I had been in contact and he considered meeting my sister and I in South Dakota where we were visiting relatives. But we ended up meeting together in Minnesota with some other Isaak cousins. It was great. I've really enjoyed getting to know some of my cousins (both distant and close) due to my interest in the family history.
I am a descendant of William, the youngest of August and Christina's children. William and his brother August were fairly close and August used to come and visit William and his folks quite a bit while August and Christina were still alive.
My father is Paul Isaak, son of William and Maria. Dad is 84.
I enjoy corresponding if you're into writing. Thanks again for the info.
