And now we are off to Austria!  Austria, a landlocked nation, is at the crossroads of Europe. It shares borders with the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. As a result of wars and political realignments, the boundaries of Austria have changed many times. German is the official language.

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.

Sylvia Elchinger, the Monument Avenue Family History Center’s resident German expert, leads discussions focusing on Europe’s German-speaking countries, and areas included in the one-time German Empire.
