Faith of Our Fathers: A History of the Gerk Family

Well, it's almost here.  This blog has been set up to promote this book that takes a "small" look at the Gerk Family.

I say "small" because, really, how could I ever complete a project that documents every Gerk?

For those interested, the book examines the Gerk's of Russia...how they got there...and then branches off into Paul & Elisabeth (Dieser) Gerk (my grandparents).  There are additional sections on some of the Gerk families of other Canadian provinces, American states, as well as Argentina and Brazil.

Those sections have been designed as "first step" chapters.  That is, designed to assist those Gerk's from those areas to start their own family history project.

Instructions on how to order the book will be made will be made available here shortly, as well as the Facebook community page set up for members of the Gerk family.

If all goes well, this first edition should be published in June or July.

We will also publish on this blog research material that may or may not have made into the final version of the book...as well as new information and documentation that we acquired after the printing. That way members of the Gerk family can keep current on the latest research news.

Keep watching!!
