Presentation Description:
Many of us have German-speaking European ancestors but are afraid to tackle the next step across the Atlantic. Finding the proper parish that holds the records of interest, as well as accessing those records, can seem daunting. It does not have to be. Your lecturer will also show examples of German church records, how to decipher them, and how to overcome the fear of German script. (Beginner to Advanced).
