NEXT MEETING: Friday, Oct 3, 2025, 12:30pm (Pacific Time).

Topic: Germans to America's Midwest, 1848-1900. Over 46 million Americans have some German ancestry. The largest German immigration wave to America was 1848 - 1900, and the majority of those that came then settled in America’s Midwest. This presentation will examine the reasons why so many Germans were leaving their homeland during this period as well as why so many settled in America’s Midwest.

Presenter: Scott Norrick has over 30 years of experience researching his family history, and through his company, Ancestral Past, he assists others with their family history research. His areas of expertise include research in the American Midwest along with the immigration to America from Britain, Ireland, and Germanic countries.

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.)
