February 20 Genealogy Club

We had an excellent turnout for our German flavored week. Steve Packer gave his usual informative talk--this time all about research in Germany. Besides some German history and tips about naming patterns, German genealogical terms and immigration information, he included several new websites that would be useful in chasing your German ancestors.

Our private cookie baker outdid herself. Louise Kant is a former member of our club, and she is still willing to bake cookies once a year for us. We were treated with German chocolate bar cookies, German town cookies, German husarenkrapfen, German cheese cookies, butterkuchen and springerle. All were delicious!

Congratulations also to our door prize winners: Mary McCann, Bob O'Donnell, Whitey Hoehn, Carol Lundholm, Maureen Edwards and Nancy Archibald.
