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!
