Pennsylvania Chapter, Palatines to America

Other Events

 

The Federation of Genealogical Societies will hold their next meeting 3-6 September 2008 with the theme “Footprints of Family History” in recognition of the fact that the host city Philadelphia was the place where the ancestors of millions of Americans first set foot on the continent. The conference committee is fashioning a program that pays homage to this region’s rich history as well as topics at the very cutting-edge of family history, including:

Research in the Mid-Atlantic states, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware

DNA’s ever larger impact on genealogy

Tracks on the area’s major ethnic groups such as English, Irish, and Germans

Topics helpful to African-American research

How “material culture” can enrich family history

Society management presentations

Military records relating to a variety of conflicts
