“Everyday Life in Old Germany and how it affects your research”
Speaker Joanne Ryder
Session 1: Problem Solving in German Research
“I can’t find him anywhere! There are no records!” Take a new approach with tips from the history and culture of your ancestor’s time to change your perspective of where to look and why. Marriage, inheritance, naming practices and many other things were so different from what we know today. Perhaps that “brick wall” of your German ancestor may begin to crumble.
Session 2: Everyday Family Life in Old Germany
What was lifelike for your ancestors before they emigrated to the United States? Were there any comforts, or was life just work and misery? Hear about what the common family endured in “old Germany.”
