Event Details

Which calendar(s) did your ancestors use?  You may be familiar with the Julian and Gregorian calendars, with their Old Style and New Style dates, but do you know when your ancestors’ country moved from one to the other?  Have you found records for your ancestors that include dates from the Catholic or Lutheran Liturgical Calendars or the French Republican Calendar?  Learn about these calendars and how to convert dates from one to another.

The focus of the German Genealogy Group is researching migrants who immigrated from German-speaking areas of Europe to various parts of the US from the 1700s to the 1900s. Knowledge of the German language is not required - the goal is to help guide your research and provide resources for translating the records. The group is a special interest group of the Dallas Genealogical Society and is freely open to all.
