Cedar Hill Genealogical Society: Finding German Ancestors (Other Society/Organization)
6:30 pm Zula B. Wylie Public Library, 225 Cedar St., Cedar Hill, TX 75104
Presenter: Bernard N. Meisner, Mid-Cities Genealogical Society
Locating records about your family in Germany starts by determining their home town through an exhaustive search of U.S. records, as most German records are maintained at the local level (town or parish). Also, due to wars and boundary changes your family’s records may now be located in another state or country.
In this presentation, Bernard will demonstrate the use of finding aids to identify where civil and church records might be located, and online resources for correspondence and reading/interpreting German printing and handwriting.
Over 17% of Americans claim to have German ancestry. Those of us who do not will find our September program applies to research in the rest of Europe, as well. |
