NEXT MEETING: Friday, October 2, 2026, 12:30pm (Pacific Time).

Topic: German Research for the Everyday American.

This lecture has three components:

Unique sources for finding a German hometown in American records
Determining the exact location of the German town using Meyers Gazetteer and Hansen’s Map Guides
Locating the records available for that town using Archion, Matricula and Basia Famula

These are the basic steps that will help attendees locate their ancestors in German records.

Presenter: Karynne Moses
