From German Girls Genealogy (Teresa Steinkamp McMillin & Debra A. Hoffman):
Registration for 2025 SLIG Virtual courses opens on Saturday, May 17th for German Phase 1: Identify the Hometown. See https://slig.ugagenealogy.org/slig-fall-virtual/ for more information on the course and for details on how to register.
We are often asked “should I take your course?” This course is designed for the frustrated researcher with German ancestry, who has yet to find the immigrant’s town of origin in Germany. It is also designed for a researcher with experience who has yet to research a German ancestor. If you have that same challenge, this course is designed with you in mind!
Not only will students benefit from the course structure and presentations, but students often learn as much from each other, too. Students will receive a digital syllabus, which provides a handbook that can be referred to in the future. It is filled with additional sources found in the bibliographic material that can be explored during and after the course ends. Another benefit is that the presentations are all recorded, so that students unable to attend that day can still watch the presentations. They can be watched multiple times, if you choose. Recordings will also be available for a short time after the course ends.
Students in this course will be working on their own research problem with the opportunity for a one-on-one consult with one of us. With the one day per week structure over five weeks, there is time to apply the information and methodology covered during the course.
If you have this research challenge, we hope that you will choose to take our course and look forward to seeing you in October 2025!
