- Hybrid Meeting with Live Presenter
- PLEASE NOTE this meeting will be held on the third Saturday in March.
- "Planning a Trip to Your Ancestral Home — A Case Study to a German Town"
- Jeff Schiebe will use a recent trip to Germany to describe the tools and activities for effectively planning and implementing a successful journey. Included will be pre-trip planning and research, how to ensure the best possible visit, and most importantly, finding new genealogical records, documents, and photos. The processes and tools presented will be applicable to any visit to your international or domestic ancestral home — even a virtual visit.
- Jeff is an avid genealogist and has been doing genealogy research on his family, both in the USA and abroad, for over 40 years. Jeff eagerly shares the tools and techniques he has used along his genealogical journey. He has given many presentations on numerous topics to genealogy clubs, senior centers, libraries and family foundations in Massachusetts and across the country both in person and via Zoom. Jeff is also active and on the board of directors of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society and launched a genealogy club in his hometown of Southborough, MA in 2023.
