[Genealogy-SIG] Re: Tracing your German Ancestors

[Darlene Sye]

Here is a learning opportunity.  All the information I have is right 
here.  An email address & phone # is included.

> 
> The Ohio Historical Society is pleased to present: TRACING YOUR 
GERMAN ANCESTORS.  This workshop will be offered at the Ohio Historical 
Society Archives Library on November 3, 2005 (Thursday, 6:30 pm to 8:30 
pm).
> 
> In recent censuses Anglo-Americans have claimed more German ancestors 
than any other European nativity. Because relatively few of these 
German descendents have acquired proficiency in the language, German 
family research is comparatively difficult. This overview session 
explains how a novice can research his German origins despite the 
language barrier. Techniques and tips for research in both US and 
German records will be presented in this class.

"In all of us is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage-to know 
who we are and where we have come from.  Without this enriching 
knowledge, there is a hollow yearning.  No matter what our attainments 
in life, there is still a vacuum, and an emptiness, and the most 
disquieting loneliness."
