Sacramento German Genealogy Society P. O. Box 660061 Sacramento CA 95866-0081 OK FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July meeting of the Sacramento German Genealogy Society The July meeting of the Sacramento German Genealogy Society will be Tuesday, July 22, at 1:00 p.m., at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church on Lusk Drive at St. Mark’s Way in Sacramento. The speaker for the meeting will be Roger P. Minert, A.G. and Ph.D. He is an SGGS favorite, and will be speaking on a topic that has been a matter of confusion among the ranks of modern-day Americans who are unfamiliar with the niceties of the class systems that were so closely adhered to in our German ancestors’ times. Dr. Minert’s topic will be “From Peasant Class to Nobility: How Our Ancestors Fit into the Class System.” If you would like to reserve private consultation time with Dr. Minert, on either his July 22 or October 28 visit to SGGS, write to Milt Kelly, 210 San Carlos Way, Novato CA 94945, or contact him at MiltKelly@Novato.net. Consultation time is just $20.00 for 25 minutes of Dr. Minert’s expertise, personalized to your questions. Consultation hours are 10:00 a.m. through 12:30. Entrance to the SGGS monthly meetings is free for members. Visitors are welcome, although it is asked that non-member attendees either join the SGGS or pay a $5.00 admittance fee when they attend a meeting. The society’s only source of income is membership dues, and the cost of providing its exceptional programs is quite high. Guests and members are encouraged to arrive for the meeting by 12:30, to give themselves time to browse the SGGS informational tables, which feature German genealogy-related books for sale, pedigree charts and other genealogical aids, oversized German wall maps, German reference and library tools, German cards, back issues of the society’s quarterly “Der Blumenbaum,” and mentors to answer research questions. And there are always SGGS members who share your interests and are eagerly awaiting a chance to discuss German genealogy and compare notes on research and families! If you have questions about the society, e-mail President Charles V. Knuthson at cknuthson@surewest.net or call him at (916) 782-5704 or contact the society’s website at www.SacGerGenSoc.org.
