Subject: [GEN-EVENTS] German Genealogy Group May 3rd meeting notice...
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 16:02:47 -0400


The German Genealogy Group will hold its next monthly meeting on Thursday,
May 3rd at:

Hicksville VFW Hall—Post 3211
320 South Broadway (Route 107)
Hicksville, New York 11801

The program this month is “Every Little Squiggle Has A Meaning All Its Own”
with presenter and GGG charter member Amelia M. Schiller. Amelia will take
us on a journey through the maze of deciphering the letters in German script
and font that pose interpretation problems. Born in Ridgewood, Queens and
educated in New York Public schools, Amelia went on to hold positions as
teacher, Guidance and Personnel Administrator and Assistant and Acting
Principal. She has prepared a booklet to help us all with “Deciphering Old
German Script.”

An Orientation session for beginners and newcomers will be held at 7 PM and
the regular meeting will start at 7:30. GGG members and guests will have
access to the building beginning at 6:30 PM.

Among the many benefits of membership are a newsletter published ten times a
year, a database of surnames, a free translation service, a book and CD
lending library, interesting guest speakers at the meetings, mentoring, a
start-up kit of helpful information and much more.

We welcome all who are interested in researching their Germanic origins.
There is no fee for guests and all are welcome.
