The Alsace-Lorraine Region
Tuesday, May 27
The Alsace-Lorraine Region  (SGGS Meetings and Events)
10:00 am
Zoom
Presented by Dr. Richard Haberstroh, AG. This talk will describe the details of two separate genealogical studies, both focused on locating the birthplace of Alsatian immigrants to the United States in the 19th century, without  locating any document that specifically names their town of origin in Alsace. Various useful search strategies are presented, as are some interesting and important characteristics of various Alsatian records available to researchers.  Also critical to these cases is the significance of circumstantial evidence, and how it can be used to form convincing arguments for the conclusion as to the birthplaces of the immigrants.
 
Registration will open after the April 29 presentation.
