Father Thomas Welk, Wichita, KS, grew up on a farm 11 miles directly east of Strasburg, ND. He translated an important work by Johannes Brendel, “Aus Deutschen Kolonien im Kutschurganer Gebiet,” or “The German Colonies in the Kutschurgan Region.”  The original translations were published in a series in “Heritage Review” from April 1979 to December 1981.
