NEXT MEETING: Friday, Sept 5, 2025, 12:30pm (Pacific Time).

Topic: Using German Genealogy Societies/Special Interest Groups to Break Your Brick Wall. Are you encountering difficulties with your German research? Have you considered reaching out to a local genealogy society for assistance? Let's explore some prominent German genealogy societies and special interest groups in the US. Additionally, we will delve into the genealogy groups in Germany, providing insights on how to locate and connect with them effectively.

Presenter: Ann Broihier is the current co-leader of the Dallas Genealogical Society's German Special Interest Group, the president of the Elgin (Illinois) Genealogical Society, and a co-leader of the IGGP 2025 Conference Connection Sessions team. She has been doing genealogy since 1988. The main areas her ancestors immigrated from were Pomerania, Rhineland/Pfalz, and Schaumburg-Lippe. She has made several trips to Germany to learn more about her ancestors.

We meet virtually on the first Friday of each month except July and August at 12:30 pm Pacific Time or 10:30 am PT, if the speaker lives outside of the United States. (To convert the meeting time, consider using https://dateful.com/time-zone-converter and Seattle, Washington as our location.)
