DONATE

Members of the EGS German Interest Group (EGS-GIG) give high marks to hearing from knowledgeable speakers and we are proud to be able to host a speaker at most every meeting. In the past, a majority of these speakers have come from within the Group and have educated us about finding and using resources, researching ancestors, even traveling to their ancestral villages.

We know there are many talented and interesting speakers outside our Group. Unfortunately for us, these outside speakers typically require fees for their presentations (generally $75 or more). As our Group has no dues, we had been unable to book these talented individuals. Our prior meeting lists show the variety of speakers and topics. 

This page has been set up to provide information on making a tax-deductible donation toward securing professional speakers.

There are two ways to do this: 1) electronically from the EGS Special Interest Groups page OR 2) by completing the form and mailing a check payable to “Eastside Genealogical Society” with notation “GIG donation”. 

PLEASE NOTE: The Paypal site can accept credit cards the same as most online sites; no Paypal account is needed. We also ask for a minimum donation of $5 as the Paypal utility charges GIG a small fee for each transaction.

Thank You very much for your support!
