Old European Records
ONLINE via Zoom
Saturday, May 16, 2020
9:00 am – 1:00 pm PDT Presentations:
“Names – Their Origins, Meanings, and Characteristics” – Meanings of given names and the four types of surnames. We also take a ‘world tour’ to learn how constructed in different cultures.
“Historical Events that Affect European Genealogical Research” – Learn about historical events, such as wars and foreign occupation, and their impact on European research, especially records and jurisdictions, looking at examples where appropriate.
“The Genealogical Value of Guild Records” – The history, structure, and purpose of guilds. Then, we look at some of the many record types that guilds created and how they can be of use to the researcher, especially when church records are missing and how these records can fill those gaps.
Registration begins Monday, April 20th.

Not all our ancestors are fine upstanding citizens, but Friedrich challenged all parameters of exemplary citizenship. But, who was Friedrich Eiler? The ability to combine fragments of identity to form a single individual is an important skill. This case study illustrates the techniques used to identify the unknown!
