| | The NDSU Libraries: Germans From Russia |
 | | The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection (GRHC) became beneficiary of this historically significant donation upon the request of Thomas Joseph Hoffman, a native of Mandan, Morton County, North Dakota. |
 | | Hoffman’s thirty-five year passion for German-Russian genealogies of Catholic families (which peaked in the years 2000-2002), focused on the Morton County locales of Solen and St. Anthony, including the prominent Leingang families of Mandan, the county seat. |
 | | Posing with sprigs of lilac panicles, these nine German Catholic gentlemen from St. Anthony, Morton County, North Dakota, are from the Leingang-Helbling families, circa 1916. |
