German-American singing festivals
German-American singing festivals  (Webinar)
Wednesday, April 5
12:00 pm
Central Time Zone (CT) - Online [English]
Between 1849 and 1914, German-American singing festivals with thousands of participants and visitors were a constant yet changing element in the cultural landscape of the United States. They brought German and European music to America, helped immigrants construct a German-American (musical) identity, and contributed to asserting their status in society. This presentation will focus on the beginnings and the expansion of German-American choirs, especially Männerchöre (choirs for male voices), singing federations and their festivals, and the musical repertoire that was performed from the mid-nineteenth century to the beginning of World War I. Heike Bungert is professor for North American history at the University of Münster in Germany. Registration required. Email Antje Petty (apetty@wisc.edu) to receive a Zoom link. (Links will be emailed the day before the event.)

Using 19th Century Civil Records in French Departmental Archives
Using 19th Century Civil Records in French Departmental Archives  (Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society)
Friday, April 21
1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Eastern Time Zone (ET) - In-person [English]
Many German-speaking immigrants originally came from the Alsace-Lorraine region of France, which at various times in history was incorporated into Germany. MAGS member Bob Greiner will discuss the history behind the civil records and review other topics required to locate and interpret the records. He will demonstrate how to access these records on the French departmental archives websites. Using several examples, attendees will have the opportunity to access these free sites and search for records themselves.
 
The conference room at the Maritime Institute of Technology, Linthicum Heights, Maryland, will have good Internet connectivity. Please bring your own device so you can learn how to access these records yourself. You will require at least a tablet or laptop, but you will have a much better experience with a laptop.

MAGS Spring Virtual Conference  (Conference)
MAGS Spring Virtual Conference  (Conference)  (Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society)
Saturday, April 22
10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Eastern Time Zone (ET) - Online [English]
Featuring Gail Shaffer Blankenau, an experienced genealogist, speaker and author. 
 
Beyond the Bauer [Farmer]: Your German Ancestor’s Place in the Social Structure.” Was your Germanic ancestor engaged in agriculture? German farmers had their own social scale with farms of various sizes and pursuits. We will explore the important social hierarchies to which your farm ancestors belonged and discuss regional terminology that can help you to understand their farming experience.
 
Peopling the Prairie: Germans in America’s Heartland.” We will explore the peoples who undertook a great migration into the heart of America from frontier days into the 20th  century. Using case studies, the stories from a diverse group of families will bring new perspectives to our understanding of how people came to inhabit the Great Plains area.
 
Unexpected Union – a Tale of Two Soldiers in the Great War.” Gail will explore the experiences of two men — one American and one German—who fought in the infantry on opposite sides of what George F. Kennan called “the seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century,” their families merging some seventy years later in America’s heartland.
 
Find Your Roots in German Farm Histories.” For many with Germanic heritage, the history of the farm is the history of the family. Learn about farm histories, what they are and what might be in them. We will also discuss resources, websites and keywords to help in locating farm histories. Case studies will show how research in American can lead you “back to the farm” in Germany.
