Genealogy and historic research are nothing less than traveling in time!

Have you ever thought about exploring a medieval city in Germany?

Of course, historic places do not exist as they once did, but is it possible to transport oneself back to a specific time frame? Why not to a time of 500 or 600 years ago? What can be found today, and how to approach such a challenge, especially when you want to conduct this research from your own desk?

Find more details about this presentation by guest speaker Dirk Weissleder at immigrantgensoc.org/new-approach-new-adventure.
