Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society: "German Genealogy: Latest and Greatest Websites and Tools" Online
Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society and the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center of the Davenport Public Library invite you to their monthly meeting.
For our February presentation, we will learn about "German Genealogy: Latest and Greatest Websites and Tools" offered through Legacy Family Tree Webinars. The description from the Legacy Family Tree website states, "The gamut of records, wikis, tools and education available online to assist those with German-speaking ancestry have continued to multiply and include a huge map of resources! Learn about them all!" Join us and see how you can add these tools to your family history toolbox.

Beidler, former Interim Executive Director for the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, is the author of four commercially published genealogy books as well as writing “Roots & Branches,” an award-winning weekly blog/newspaper column on genealogy. He is also a columnist for German Life magazine and is editor emeritus of Der Kurier, the quarterly journal of the Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society."
