SUMMARY:Strategies for Finding an Immigrant Ancestor’s Origins
DESCRIPTION:Central Time Zone (CT) – Online [English]\n\nFinding your immigrant ancestor’s town of origin is significant in genealogy. Without this piece of information\, the family line cannot be extended across the ocean. This talk suggests many strategies that just might help you break down that brick wall. Teresa Steinkamp McMillin\, Certified Genealogist®\, author of the Guide to Hanover Military Records\, 1514-1866 on Microfilm at the Family History Library\, is the owner of Lind Street Research\, a company dedicated to helping people discover their German ancestry. She has taught at the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR) and the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG) Academy for Professionals. She created and recorded courses for Ancestry Academy and Legacy Family Tree Webinars. She is a popular speaker for national\, regional\, and local genealogical societies. Reading German gothic script found in German records prior to the mid-1900s is second nature to her. Researching ancestors in Chicago and other areas of the Midwest is another of Teresa’s specialty areas. She is a multi-year attendee of IGHR and SLIG.\n\n\n\nPre-register for this event:\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:"Cemeteries and Burial Customs in Central Europe"
DESCRIPTION:Eastern Time Zone (ET) – Online [English] \n\n\n\nDr. Roger Minert will speak on “Cemeteries and Burial Customs in Central Europe.” The customs associated with funerals and burials in German-language regions of Europe are substantially different from corresponding rituals in the United States. The layout and maintenance of cemeteries is also quite different. In this presentation\, images are used to illustrate cemetery conditions and cultural customs associated with funerals and burials. The presenter demonstrates how the individual or family grave and its appearance are of great concern to Europeans. The question of death and burial records – often asked by North American researchers – is also discussed in detail. \n\n\n\nSend your name and email address to Becky Thornton at rthornton07@gmail.com to receive the link for Zoom. \n\n\n\nDownload: 1671118720_NorthCarolinaChapterSeminarJan21.pdf

DESCRIPTION:Eastern Time Zone (ET) – Online [English] \n\n\n\nThe Irish Palatine Special Interest Group of the Ontario Genealogical Society is hosting a webinar regarding Hank Jones’s Palatine Research Library.  Recently\, Jones donated his personal library to the New York Chapter of Palatines to America (PalAm) and to the Germantown (New York) Library.  It consists of hundreds of books\, periodicals\, pamphlets\, and other materials documenting years of research on the Palatines — those who went to America in 1710\, as well as those who settled in Ireland in 1709.
