We have spent the past three days attending classes specific to German genealogy. It was so interesting to be part of a conference where everyone had similar interests and almost every conversation began with "and where are you researching in Germany?"
We had time in the vendor area, which means "new books, new books!" I had to be careful how many to add to our collection, since we're traveling by car this summer.
I attended classes on using German directories, Cyrillic parish records, WWI alien registrations, German census records, research in Lithuania, German newspapers, Black Sea Germans, German guilds, Palatine research, online resources for Eastern Europe, baptismal records, and German-Bohemians. I will be posting information about some specific websites in the coming weeks.
Dick has the syllabus on a flash drive and I have the paper copy (of course), so we can share with anyone who is interested during the coming season.
