Remembering Our Danube Swabian Ancestors
     
 

The Collected Works of Nick Tullius
Major Contributor, Translator, Editor, Author & Mentor
Keeping the Danube Swabian legacy alive!

     Nick was born in Alexanderhausen, Banat, Romania; as a young adult he emigrated to Canada. Read his story:  Journey from Alexanderhausen to Ottawa 'Sketch of a memoir'.  Nick was a former DVHH Admin Team member and went on to serve as one of the original Board Directors in the early years of the DVHH becoming a nonprofit, in 2007.  He has bestowed upon us a nice collection of Danube Swabian content while serving as a long time chief editor here at DVHH. His first hand experience of the old homeland and his desire to help researchers gain knowledge about their Danube Swabian heritage, -is evident in everything he writes, whether it is his own personal experience or a translation of an article only available in German, before now.  We have always appreciated his time and talents! Thank you Nick!
