Join us at 1.30 pm on Monday 13th April 2026 for the next meeting of our German Special Interest Group.
Our German SIG is a fantastic way to explore your heritage and connect with like-minded locals researching their Germanic background in friendly discussions. We share information on researching your Germanic ancestors, including resources, techniques, history and customs.
Coming up at our April meeting will be several topics of interest to anyone with Germanic ancestors or researching their German family history including:
- Discussion on reading the Hamburg State Archives indexes
- A review of the names on the Hahndorf (SA) Inn honour board
- Presentation of a story “Why a Russian Soldier’s Cross was given to my father” and
- A review of the book “ Waltzing Mathilde - Letters to a little girl” by Rosalie Horner, followed by a discussion on topics of general interest.
Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or just starting your family tree, you’re warmly invited to attend. Come and join us for the discussion, then stay for afternoon tea and a convivial chat - guests welcome!
