SATURDAY, May 5
Virginia Group 10:00am – noon
Topic: Virginia Genealogy Trivia Quiz
Come to our meeting and test your knowledge of Virginia history and research and see how much you know and where there are gaps in your knowledge. We will have a list of questions taken from past meeting presentations. Then we will devote the remainder of our time for sharing and give everyone a chance to talk about their research problems, to ask questions, to share a new discovery, or a research technique or record group.
German Group 1 – 3pm
Presenters: Judith Leppert and Tia Cobb, on Lutheran Religion
The German Interest Group was formed in the spring of 2011. It is intended to be a source of information and inspiration for anyone with German speaking ancestors. One goal is to provide information on a variety of topics related to Germanic history and migration. We also will provide time for members to share their research journeys and connect with others who may be researching the same region or time period.
