Sacramento German Genealogy Society P. O. Box 660061 Sacramento CA 95866-0081 OK FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Upcoming events of the Sacramento German Genealogy Society The next meeting of the Sacramento German Genealogy Society will be a “German Family History SLAM” on Tuesday, May 18. This will be an evening meeting, planned to coincide with the National Genealogical Society’s Conference in Sacramento May 19 through 22. It will be held in the Gardenia Room at Sacramento’s Sheraton Grand Hotel. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will feature a presentation by a German research specialist from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, a presentation on “The Eleven Commandments for Conducting German Family History Research” and much more. SGGS will also sponsor a luncheon during the NGS Conference, on Wednesday, May 19, which must be signed up for through the NGS, although those attending only the luncheon do not have to register for the NGS Conference. The luncheon speaker will be Marion Wolfert, one of SGGS’s most delightful and informative speakers. There are very few seats left for the luncheon and those who would like to attend are encouraged to sign up immediately. The June 22 meeting will again be at the usual 1:00 p.m. at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church on Lusk Drive at St. Mark’s Way in Sacramento. The speaker will be Jennifer Anderson, a graduate student at Brigham Young University, who will speak on “Solving German Emigration Problems through the Internet.” Entrance to all SGGS monthly meetings, including the “German Family History SLAM,” is free and visitors are welcome. Guests and members are encouraged to arrive for the meeting a half-hour early, to allow themselves time to socialize and browse the society’s informational tables, which feature German genealogy-related books and other genealogical aids for sale, German reference and library tools and back issues of the society’s quarterly “Der Blumenbaum.” And there are always mentors in attendance who share your interests and are eagerly awaiting a chance to discuss German genealogy, answer your questions and compare notes on research.
