- Mennonite delegates on a similar visit
in 1874 returned to Russia and encouraged many,
- including Dirksen families, to

Prussian, Russian and early South Dakota history of Dirksens.
Seventh Day Adventist records reveal much of Pioneer Dirksen
history in North Dakota. United States and Russian census records,
Bureau of Land Management records, county court records, reports
from living descendants, related genealogies and the bottomless
well of the Internet provide more data. The work of Alan Peters
and Jay Hubert has provided the essential genealogical reference
called Genealogical Registry And Database of Mennonite Ancestry
(GRANDMA). The following people have made essential contributions
