Topic: Using Church Records (part 2)

Topic: Travelogue on Special Museum in Germany
Facilitators: All members
Many of our members have visited Germany or German-speaking areas and have lots of photos and stories of their visits. We’d like to find out what was a favorite museum that you either planned to visit or stumbled across. It could be a local area museum for your ancestor’s village or something like Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin. Members will be asked to send a photo ahead of time to Coordinator Diane Green for the Powerpoint.
