Cedar Hill Genealogical Society Monthly Meeting: “Finding German Ancestors”
October 12, 2017 @ 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Finding German Ancestors: Their Information is Not All on the Internet: 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. Speaker: Bernard Meisner
