Register: <https://tinyurl.com/GRIVAGermanMay2023>
You will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting. As always, space is limited, but guests are always welcome! There is no handout for this meeting, nor is it being recorded. Links referenced can be found in the Zoom chat box, and <GRIVA.org> German Tab.
We interrupt our tour of Germany to look at German records. In May, Sylvia will be answering your handwriting questions. Do you have German documents you can't decipher? Or documents you've been unable to translate? Or records that defy interpretation? Sylvia will be happy to help you! And the solution to your puzzles could help other researchers! Before 20 April 2023, send your conundrums to Sylvia, at <[log in to unmask]> Please note 'Your Turn' in the message line. Sylvia will be back in touch with you shortly! [Note: If no samples are received, there will be no meeting in May.]
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.Future dates:
