DESCRIPTION:Genealogiebörse\, Ahnenforscher treffen Ahnenforscher und diejenigen die es werden wollen!\n\n\n\nWas wurde aus Onkel Fritz? Wie sind Oma & Opa aufgewachsen? Kennen Sie alle Familiengeheimnisse?\n\n\n\nAhnenforschung ist ein spannendes und abwechslungsreiches Hobby\, dass auch in Deutschland in den letzten Jahren zunehmend auf großes Interesse stößt. Die Forschung in Kirchenbüchern und lokalen Archiven ist für Familienforscher nach wie vor unerlässlich\, auch wenn heutzutage durch genealogische Vereine\, Archive und kommerzielle Anbieter viele Dokumente und Informationen bereits im Internet erforschbar sind. Ahnenforscher begeben sich auf eine spannende Reise zu ihren Vorfahren\, finden Fakten wie Geburts- oder Heiratsdaten heraus\, erforschen Geschichten der Familie und über die Herkunftsorte der Vorfahren. Auch unter Ahnenforschern ist der Austausch untereinander sehr wichtig. Eine Genealogiebörse ist der ideale Ort um sich mit gleichgesinnten zu treffen\, Tips und Tricks zur Forschung von genealogischen Vereinen zu erhalten\, Computersoftware auszuprobieren und deren Möglichkeiten zu entdecken oder auch einmal in den Datenbanken kommerzieller Anbieter zu suchen. \n\n\n\nCET | In Person only | German / English

SUMMARY:Archion: How to Use It and Why
DESCRIPTION:*This is a partner event. Presenter: Barbara Pieh. The website Archion is a source well-worth getting to know. Archion provides access primarily to the records created by the pastors of the German Protestant Churches [Evangelische Kirchen]. They recorded the births/baptisms\, marriages\, and death/burials starting in the mid-1600s. Archion constantly adds new records as they are released by the local churches. The first part of this webinar will show you how to find your way around Archion step-by-step using screen shots.  Even with a good grasp of how to use the website\, however\, the old German handwriting [die deutsche Schrift] remains a challenge. Even Germans say\, I can’t read that! The second part of how to use Archion aims to decrease that intimidation by a closer look at the handwriting itself. It is known by historical types\, such asKurrent\, Offenbacher\, and Sütterlin.  How to read the handwriting will be introduced through a Kurrent alphabet chart and the key genealogicalterms that appear in that handwriting in the records. Other strategies will be pointed out\, such as attention to the column headings of the records\, and the determination of the particular record pattern of the particular parish pastor\, etc. In a third part of the webinar\, the why of all this work is considered. The bottom line is – you will get to know your immigrant(s) better. Register. \n\n\n\n\n\nCentral time zone | online |English

SUMMARY:German and American Protestant Pastors in Occupied Germany

SUMMARY:They Returned to the Homeland: Finding Germans from Russia in the U.S. Passport Application Files
DESCRIPTION:This is a partner event. Treffen Tuesday will be presented by Allyn Brosz.  For Germans from the Russian Empire\, the transatlantic journey was not always a one-way trip.

Some of those who traveled and their stories will be highlighted. The odyssey of a Volga German family spanning more than two decades is a case study.
