Luther, Napoleon and the Kaiser - German History for Genealogists  (Program)

10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Virtual Event

Presented by Ursula C. Krause

***THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT BE VIDEO RECORDED***

 Please plan to attend on Zoom.  



Why is what happened in Augsburg on September 25, 1555, one of the most important historical events in German history and of utmost importance to researchers? And why do we need to know about the French emperor Napoleon? Why does it make such a big difference if a birth took place in 1874 or 1876? Find out in this presentation why knowing the most important events in German history can be helpful for your research.

The WISE Family Association is hosting a Fall Research Trip on September 18-25 to the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, IN.
