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.

American Immigrants in American Protestant Church Records
Join us on Thursday, September 26, at 8:00 PM EDT for a free webinar featuring Dr. Roger P. Minert.

To facilitate this, Dr. Minert has been sponsoring and supervising a team of students who read German

church records and collect genealogical data. Since the project’s initiation in 2003, 38 volumes have been published, and over a hundred students have been employed.
