Published in two parts, the first part gives the history and genealogy of the descendants of Jacob J. Dyck and Marie G. Harder. Jacob J. Dyck was born in 1881 in Russia and left in 1907 for Kansas. Claassen and Harder family history is also included. Part II tells what happened to those persons who remained in Russia—stories of contacts made after sixty years of silence; stories of slave labor camps; old photos of families, homes, and churches. Maps and graphs enhance the history of each family. There are even color photos of family heirlooms, some brought from West Prussia. (390pp. color illus. index. Author, 2000.)
