It is exciting to have a German Special Interest Group beginning at our library. We will have the first meeting June 4, at 1PM in the Higgins Room. Mark your calendar!
On Saturday April 16th twelve people attended the planning meeting for the German Interest Group. We shared some information about our German ancestors and topics we would like to explore. These included obtaining records, translations, the history of Germany, and migration patterns to the US. There was also discussion about a format for meetings, possible speakers and field trips.
At our first meeting we will review this information and make plans for the fall. In addition, Tom O'Brien has agreed to speak on "Time and Place". the history of Germany and its many boundary changes using the Centennia mapping program. We look forward to seeing you there.
