What You Will Learn

Recognizing many Kentuckians have German roots, this presentation will lay out how to discover those roots in resources in the United States and in Germany. With deep German roots herself, the presenter will address handling challenges like finding an ancestor’s Heimat (home), dealing with German script, and navigating border changes.
