Hi, Genealogy Folks, St. Louis Public Library cordially invites you to a German Genealogy program, "Hessians, Bavarians, & Prussians, Oh My! Researching Your German Ancestors". Our speakers will be the popular Dr. George Schweitzer and Lloyd Bockstruck. Dr. Schweitzer will be discussing general resources for German records and "jumping the pond"; Mr. Bockstruck will be sharing his knowledge of military records and how our German immigrant ancestors have affected U. S. military conflicts, including mention of Hessian mercenaries and 48ers in the Civil War. The program will take place on Saturday, September 8, from 10AM to 1PM. Location is the St. Louis Public Library, Central Library Events Pavillion, 1301 Olive Street. The program is free and open to the public. Free parking is available. Registration is strongly suggested; please call (314) 539-0385 for registration or further information. So get out your lederhosen and join us for some German researching fun! Kathleen J.
