SUMMARY:First Germans in America
DESCRIPTION: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 that 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.  Presented by Lori Coffey. Registration. \n\n\n\n\n\nEastern time zone | online | English

SUMMARY:The Last Ships from Hamburg
DESCRIPTION:Bestselling historian Steven Ujifusa tells the largely forgotten but colorful story of three remarkable businessmen who\, driven by very different motives\, helped facilitate the mass immigration of Jews from Eastern Europe at the turn of the 20th century — forever altering the fate of millions. The book follows Jacob Schiff\, the influential banker who used his wealth to support Jewish refugees; Albert Ballin\, the Hamburg-American Line director who built an extensive transportation network of trains and steamships; and J.P. Morgan\, the powerful financier whose International Mercantile Marine (I.M.M.) trust sought to dominate the transatlantic shipping industry. Through a web of alliances and rivalries\, these men played a crucial role in one of history’s most significant migrations. Register. \n\n\n\n\n\nEastern time zone | hybrid | English

SUMMARY:How a Non-German Speaking Person Can Trace Their German Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:*This is a partner event. Presenter: Bernard N. Meisner. Prior to attempting to locate records about your family in Germany\, it is essential to conduct an exhaustive search of U.S. records\, since there is no central repository for German records. Rather\, most records are recorded at the local level (town or parish). Also\, due to wars and boundary changes\, “German” records may now be located in another state or country. Learn how to conduct an exhaustive search of U.S. records to identify your ancestor’s home town and religion. Recognize some obstacles you may have to overcome to ensure you are researching the correct person in the correct place — name changes\, replacement children\, spelling variants\, multiple towns with the same name. Learn how to use finding aids to identify where civil and church records might be located. Discover examples of online resources for correspondence\, and reading/interpreting German printing and handwriting. REGISTER \n\n\n\n\n\nPacific time zone | online | English
