She has been to Germany three times, twice including researching her ancestors. She has both first and second wave German ancestors who immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1700s and mid-1800s.

Family Objects, Family Memories (AAGS Meetings)
Thursday, December 5
7:30 pm to 9:00 pm
Our December 5 meeting will showcase unusual sources of genealogical information provided by our members. Join us at Anne Arundel Community College, Florestano Building, Room 218 as AAGS members show us their unusual family artifacts and objects, and tell us what they learned from them about their ancestors.
We tried this on a small scale last December, and decided on this format for the entire meeting this year. Last year one member brought an ancestor’s wedding memory book. Another brought his grandmother’s handwritten recipe book and described some of the foods she made for him when he was a child. For this December's meeting, one member has already agreed to bring a sextant belonging to an ancestor who served in World War I, along with his ship’s log and records describing his ship being torpedoed.
Watch for an email soon asking for more volunteers to tell us about their family objects in December.
