Ursula Krause –
Ursula C. Krause is a German genealogist with a law degree. She began her professional genealogy career in 2009.

Two one hour sessions:
– Luther, Napoleon and the Kaiser – German History for Genealogists
Why is what happened in Augsburg on September 25, 1555, one of the most important historical events in
German history and of utmost importance to researchers? And why do we need to know about the French emperor Napoleon? Why does it make such a big difference if a birth took place in 1874 or 1876? Find out in this presentation why knowing the most important events in German history can be helpful for your research.
Moving, Moving, Moving! Migration Patterns within Germany Despite their reputation for being
rooted to their localities, Germans do have a history of migration within their own country, especially after the
onset of industrialization in the mid-19th century. In this presentation, we will explore the various patterns of
internal migration, and offer guidance on how to navigate these movements to aid in your search for ancestors.
