Save the date! After a summer break, Sacramento German Genealogy Society (SGGS) is back with new LIVE webinar programming! Join us Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 10 a.m.(PT)/1 p.m.(ET) for “Finding Your German Ancestor’s Place of Origin,” presented by Dana Palmer, CG®, CGL®.

Where did my Germans come from? Finding the town of origin is one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome. This presentation will focus on how to find the place of origin when little is known. Discussion about other useful sources such as the German Immigrants in American Church Records will also be covered. Tips will be given on when to do the work yourself and when to hire out a researcher in Germany. Learn how to be successful finding your ancestor’s place of origin using auswanderungen and other helpful records.

Register for the *free* live Zoom webinar on the SGGS website at https://sggs.us. We’re looking forward to connecting with you!
