\"\"We have unseasonably warm weather in the Denver area right now. It feels like spring. When that season finally arrives on the calendar, I have some exciting genealogy activities planned:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On April 1, my husband\/tech advisor and I will present a Sons of Norway program on the reasons for Norwegian emigration to America.\n<\/li>\n
  2. On April 8, I will attend the annual Colorado Genealogical Society seminar. David Allen Lambert of the New England Historic Genealogical Society will discuss various aspects of New England research. My dad’s Bangs, Burgess, Dunbar, Hall, Hathaway, and Snow families lived in Massachusetts during colonial times, so I am hoping to pick up some tips for researching these lines.\n<\/li>\n
  3. On May 6, Dr. Fritz Juengling, a German research consultant at the Salt Lake Family History Library, will speak at the Palatines To America seminar. I am devoting my research time this year to identifying my German ancestors, if any, and I hope to get some ideas for moving forward on this.\n<\/li>\n
  4. My church choir will tour the Land of Luther in Germany this year as part of our celebration of the 500th<\/sup> anniversary of the Reformation. I come from a Lutheran family on my maternal side, and the opportunity to see the Luther sites fulfills a lifelong dream of mine. As a bonus, my husband\/tech advisor and I will leave a few days early and visit his family villages in western Germany.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Each of these events offers the chance for me to pursue my genealogical education. With this varied mix of experiences, I hope to get some insights into many aspects of my heritage\u2014Norwegian, German, and English. If I am truly fortunate, these opportunities will translate into a spring forward with in my research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
