I got on your list due to some of my Brown family supposedly living in Spokane in the late 1950's, but don't think I can find them there in any of your records.

Sabine has been working in the German Archives for about 15 years and hence she has experience in all areas of German research. Her lecture topics for EWGS will be what we felt would be the most help for the majority who are searching in Germany. 1 - How to Find that Elusive German Emigrant 2 - What is Where in the German Archives? 3 - German Research by Remote: How Do I Get These Records? 4 - German Sources Beyond the Church Records. She will also be having a question and answer session so you certainly could ask your questions. One of her many topics that she sometimes speaks about is the areas of Germany that were, are and now once again. Most of us, I think have similar problems in that area. My husband's father came from Estonia, had one sister who stayed there, and yet it is believed that he was German. With the 30 year wars, many were conscripted from all over Europe. His mother's family came from Hungary in an area that is now in Romania, which I would never have learned if I had not found them on the manifest list coming into America in 1921, and verifying that they were ethnic Hungarians. I think that title of the seminar describes what we all need to know - whether we find them in America or Germany eventually. I have so much German ancestry that I know I will be helped by all of those titles. Europe was "re-settled" (if you can call it that) by the three great powers in Yalta at the end of WW II, when Roosevelt was president, and they gave land to the various countries any which way they wanted too. Genealogists suffer from their decisions today. Thank you for the information you gave to the list, and I hope you will attend so that you will get answers to your questions.
