SUMMARY:1816: The Year Without a Summer & Its Impact on German Migration
DESCRIPTION:This is a partner event. Presenter: Carolyn Schott\, CG® The eruption of Mt. Tambora in Indonesia unleashed a volcanic winter that reverberated around the globe\, earning the year 1816 the name “The Year Without a Summer.” Immense quantities of volcanic ash drastically altered weather patterns and created unseasonably cold temperatures that caused crop failures and food shortages. This crisis prompted many Germans to seek new opportunities abroad\, both in the U.S. and in the Russian Empire\, which offered both land and religious freedom. This presentation discusses the intertwined environmental\, economic\, and social ramifications of the Year Without a Summer\, highlighting its pivotal role in the history of German emigration. Registration. \n\n\n\n\n\nPacific time zone | online | English

SUMMARY:First Germans in America
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lori Coffey. In the 1600s\, a ship full of families escaping religious persecution headed to the shores of the New World and began a great migration. If you think these are the Pilgrims\, think again! These were Germans who fled to Pennsylvania on the Concord. A watershed moment in history that has been long forgotten\, until now. We learn about the political unrest and religious persecution which drove these cousins of William Penn to help found his new colony. And watch as they grow their German town to be a beacon of light for the 7 million Germans who follow. Registration is only required for Zoom attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\nEastern time zone | hybrid | English
