There is no handout for this meeting, nor is it being recorded. Links referenced can be found in the Zoom chat box, <GRIVA.org> DNA Tab or GRIVA DNA Group at FaceBook.This fall we continue our exploration of the history, geography, and research opportunities for each of the modern German states and city-statesWe resume our tour of German states with visits to Hamburg and Bremen, popular departure points for German emigrants. All research is local! Just as in each of the United States, research in each German state is both general and specific.
Searching for German-speaking ancestors? Changing borders, missing records, reading German script, and then there is the language barrier. Do any of these problems sound familiar? Check <GRIVA.org>, German SIG tab, to see the SIG’s agenda and for links mentioned in past sessions.
