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 invite you to attend a program on German genealogy research. Are you trying to cross the pond to Germany, and you don’t know where to research because the homework has not been completed? Have you looked at EVERYTHING in the area where your immigrant ancestor settled? The critical clues can be found in the most unexpected of sources.
This program is scheduled to be held in person and virtually. The program will be held at the German American Heritage Center and Museum, 712 W 2nd St, Davenport, IA 52802. If you would prefer to attend virtually, please follow this link to attend the event.
This program is suitable for adults and teens.
Join the members and guests of the Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society in learning about trends, techniques, and anything related to family history.

This program is offered in partnership with the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center of the Davenport Public Library.
