2022 Convention of the Society for German Genealogy in Eastern Europe

SGGEE’s schedule and speakers are now confirmed.  Registration will open Sept. 1, and in the meantime you can save the dates!

SGGEE 2022 … Friday, Sept. 23-Sunday, Sept. 25
All sessions are scheduled in the Pacific Daylight Time zone. Make sure you check the start for your time zone so you join at the right time. In North America that would be:

9 AM PDT 10 AM MDT 11 AM CDT 12 PM EDT

Friday, Sept. 23
9 AM – 10 AM PDT: Three small group Question & Answer sessions based on the virtual programs given earlier this year.  If you have questions from attending or viewing (members only) the recordings, join the “breakout” room to talk with the presenter.

Choices are:

Edie Adam on border changes
Earl Schultz on DNA projects
Sigrid Pohl-Perry on databases in Polish archives

Saturday, Sept. 24
Our theme for the convention is “crossing borders.” So we invited speakers who are experts in regions that surround Poland and Volhynia — the core area SGGEE covers.
