German Study Group

GERMAN STUDY GROUP GOALS

The goal of the German Study Group is to learn about their German ancestors using many available resources. This group discusses their German ancestors, German databases, and personal stories from the members in their German research.

The German Study Group meets on the last Wednesday of each month at the Harmony Library, 4616 S Shields, Fort Collins, CO 80526 and via Zoom at 1 pm. Study Group Facilitators Lynn Alex and Rodney Seiwald invite any member or visitor to join their monthly group to review their German ancestry at no cost.

The group joined the International German Genealogy Partnership (IGGP) in February 2020. You are encouraged to view the following short video by our Past President Glenn York and former German Study Group facilitator Del Ritchhart about LCGS and the German Study Group.
