Sacramento German Genealogy Society P. O. Box 660061 Sacramento CA 95866-0081 OK FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June meeting of the Sacramento German Genealogy Society The June meeting of the Sacramento German Genealogy Society will be held Tuesday, June 24, 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 Marion Wolfert, A. G., recently returned from Europe on one of her frequent research trips and fresh with thoughts on the topic “Current Bright Spots in German Family History.” Born and raised in Germany, she is the co-author of “German Immigrants: Lists of Passengers Bound from Bremen (1847-1871)” and author of the ongoing project, “Brandenburg Immigration Index.” She has spoken to the SGGS membership several times and always leaves behind a big fan club. 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.
