More Notes from the German Genealogy Conference

There were 4-5 sessions each day and there was also a speaker during lunch breaks. Some of Dick's choices included Researching German Roots in the Czech Republic, German Church and Civil Records, One-Step Webpages, Using Family Search for German Research, Austrian Empire in the 19th Century, Making Sense out of Census Records, and Pommeranian Research.


This conference was unusual in that the speakers chosen for the lunch sessions provided notes for the syllabus. At most national conferences the lunchtime presentations are more entertaining than educational. During the three days we listened to The Status of Your German Ancestor, German Ancestors and Their Occupations and Tracking the Tribe: How to Get Around a Wall When You Can't Find the Door.
