German Research Event with Michael Lacopo
NHG is sponsoring a special event featuring Michael Lacopo, an expert in the area of German genealogy research. On July 21st from 9-12 AM at La  Roche College. The cost for NHG members is $5, for non-members it is $20 and includes a 1 year membership. Michael's lectures will be:
HOW TO OVERCOME BRICK WALLS IN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN RESEARCH: Several case studies will be presented showing lesser-utilized research tactics, repositories, and resources used to find information about our Pennsylvania German ancestors. These first-wave German immigrants require a completely different research plan than those who came later.
HOW TO OVERCOME BRICK WALLS IN GERMAN-AMERICAN RESEARCH: We continue our case-study approach by learning new tricks, techniques, and historical concepts that will help identify and understand our 19th and 20th century German-speaking ancestors.
