Thank you so much for letting us know of this sad news. Although I never met Al 
in person we were related through our Semrau family. He was very helpful to me 
and was gracious in sharing his knowledge.    Amy Caswell

to report that Albert (Al) Muth passed away from pulmonary embolism (blood 
clots) at his home, Sunday July 15. A brief obituary can be found on this site

>> Al was only 55 but he crammed a whole lot of genealogical research into those 
few years. I was first introduced to him in the mid 1990s when he did some 
genealogical research for Wandering Volhynians magazine. It was later in the 
founding years of SGGEE that he became extremely active through his extraction 
of literally hundreds of thousands of names from Russian Poland Lutheran 
records. SGGEE, its members, and those who have passed this way as friends owe 
him a huge debt for helping us to do our research. He did this through his 
general extractions, through his historical and language research and especially 
through personal messages in direct correspondence with us. He did not keep his 
research to himself but shared it with us and many others around the world. He 
seldom did the specific family research for us but allowed us to make our own 
discoveries by pointing us to people, places, and records.
>> 
>> As several people have already indicated in private messages I received, Al 
is irreplaceable and will be sorely missed. Please join us in extending our 
prayers and thoughts of condolences to his surviving family.
