This was the second week that we have been learning about Germany.
Last week Sister Johnson shared with the class many of the things that she learned at California Family History Expo 2010. She provide several maps, Gothic Alphabet Samples, a review of Meyers Gazetteer and much more. Contact Sister Johnson if you would like copies of the handouts.
This week Sister Polich gave a very interesting presentation on the history of Germany. A history of the country you are researching is a must. Keep it close as you do research. Many times the history will give you a clue as to what records are available and where they are located.
Before you begin researching in Germany do the following:
•Find a good collection of maps
•Have historical time-line available
•Understand how transportation works
•Find a German translation site
•Listen to German Town of Origin by Teresa Steinkamp McMillin
For those of you that are working on lines in Germany, the link to the German Town of Origin is a must .
Viel Glück erforscht!
