Some say Genealogy and the Internet are perfect together, and Thomas A. Peters will show us at this FHIG meeting how that is certainly true for those of German descent.
The breadth and depth of genealogical records that are available online is increasing at a remarkable pace, much of it at no cost beyond the Internet connection. Much of the time today these are full images of the original document, and family historians should have no excuse these days to rely solely on an indexed record.
Tom will share dozens of valuable online sources
for German information, and include tips and suggestions for enhancing your online skills, analyzing the information found,and using best practice research techniques.
The information will be of interest to those who may not have German ancestors as well, since knowing what kinds of sources and databases to look for and how to use them to the best advantage can help in finding the ones that are
pertinent to your ancestry.
No prior experience in tracing
genealogical roots is necessary.
