in exploring places related to her heritage. This has taken her to Germany,
Ukraine, Moldova, Hungary, and Poland. Along the way, she's
sampled Zwiebelkuchen (onion tart) at a German village festival; celebrated
Easter in Moldova; hiked through rural cemeteries with a broken
foot; found herself in a protest in Kyiv, Ukraine; and learned to appreciate
the bonding powers of a good vodka.
Carolyn has more than 20 years of genealogy experience. She's
one of the founders of the Black Sea German Research group
(blackseagr.org), and formerly a board member of the Germans from
Russia Heritage Society (GRHS) and editor of the GRHS Heritage
Review. Her writing has received several awards from the International
Society of Family History Writers and Editors, and she is a regular
speaker on genealogy-related topics.view less
