June 22 & 23: GERMAN RESEARCH PROGRAM

The Education Committee of the New York Genealogical & Bographical
Society, in conjunction with the German Genealogical Group of
Hicksville, New York, is very pleased to announce a two-day German
Research program: Suche und Spass (Research and fun): German Research at
the NYG&B.

This year's event will cover both the early German immigrants of the
eighteenth century, commonly known as the Palatines, and those who
arrived in the mid-nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries.
Henry Z. "Hank" Jones, Jr., a frequent speaker at national conferences,
will be our keynote speaker. Presentations will also be provided by Dr.
Richard Haberstroh and Meldon Wolfgang III, both of whom are well-known
German authorities; Alex Calzareth, a specialist in German-Jewish
research, and Ruth Becker Cipko of the German Genealogical Group.

The two-day program begins on Friday with an introduction by Library
Director, Edward Smith, on the G&B Library holdings that are of
particular interest to researchers with German ancestry. The remainder
of the day consists of research assisted by Library staff and German
research specialists Hank Jones, Richard Haberstroh, Ruth Becker Cipko,
and Lauren Maehrlein. Friday evening features a German-style buffet
banquet, complete with German beer and wines, and highlighted by an
entertaining talk by Mr. Jones.

30 registrants for the two-day program. There is no limit to the number
permitted for the Saturday only program.



Saturday, June 23: a two-track program of lectures with a wide range of
