Genealogy Jottings

Last weekend I spent a day attending the semi-annual seminar put on by the local chapter of Palatines to America. Shirley Riemer, author of The German Research Companion, spoke on German research strategies, including use of an Ortissippenbuch (German Town Genealogy). She packed her handouts with valuable information, and I came home with some ideas for further research. A wonderful feature of these seminars is the German lunch and dinner they offer. Some people do not even care what they will learn at the seminar; they go for the food.
