Dr. Guenter Junkers awarded the Johann-Christoph-Gatterer-Medaille
|
Dave Dreyer
Dr. Guenter Junkers has recently been awarded the prestigious Bronze Johann-Christoph-Gatterer metal of the Deutsche Arbeitsgemeinschat genealogischer Verbaende for his contributions to application of computer methodology to family history research. Guenter earned a PhD in physical chemistry and spent his professional carrier in research and development with AGFA film in Leverkusen. His interest in historical and genealogical matters has been long standing and wide ranging. Closer to home he served as the AKdFF chairman 2010 to 2017. During this period he did much to raise the visibility of the AKdFF among the many German genealogical organizations. For Donauschwab researchers this metal might also be regarded as a well earned recognition of his stewardship of the AKdFF

Congratulations Guenter. You have worked hard over the years. 97 was the earliest email from you that I had kept although I am sure you were involved before then. The medal is well deserved.
Ed.

Errors in Heimatbooks occur very often because the authors copy data from other printed sources like Wilhelm& Kallbrunner's Wiener Listen when wrong place names are listed. Stefan Stader tries to correct the wrong information if he gets corrections from other researchers. If you email your corrections to me, I will forward the information to Stefan Stader and it will be printed in the corresponding volume. Please give all information about your sources. Thank you!
