Ask Lloyd!
Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck (pronounced Buckstrup)
was born in Vandalia, Fayette County, Illinois, on 26
May 1945. His own ancestry stems from Illinois,
Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
the Carolinas, and up the East Coast through
Maryland to New England. His heritage is rooted in
England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Germany.
He has been a scholar and a teacher for most of his
adult life, garnering his baccalaureate degree in biology (Beta Beta Beta
honor society) and history (Phi Alpha Theta honors), cum laude from
Greenville College, Greenville, Illinois, in 1967, followed by an M.A. in
European history in 1969 from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale (Phi
Kappa Phi honor society), and an M.S. in library science in 1973 from the
University of Illinois, Urbana (Beta Phi Mu honor society). He earned a
certificate from the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research from
Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama, in 1973 as well.
As a librarian, Mr. Bockstruck has enjoyed success in his field. He joined
the staff of the Dallas Public Library in 1973, and is presently Supervisor of
the Genealogy Section. He served on the Genealogy Committee of the
American Library Association as early as 1974, and is a life member. He
has been awarded the prestigious Filby Prize for Genealogical
Librarianship.
He is an Honorary Life Member of the Dallas Genealogical Society, having
been on its Board of Directors since 1979. Until recently, he wrote a
weekly genealogy column for the Dallas Morning News called "Family
Tree". Mr. Bockstruck now writes a weekly column for Dick Eastman's
newsletter which may be found at www.eogn.com.
How fortunate we are that commencing with the 2009 issues of the DGS
newsletter, Mr. Bockstruck will put all his knowledge and skills to the test in
answering our questions! Send questions that you would like to "Ask
Lloyd" to: www.AskLloyd@dallasgenealogy.com. Please begin posting
