German Community Forum Series

PalAm-Ohio’s German Community Forum Series resumes on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at 10:00 AM ET, as a FREE ZOOM only event. Carol Swinehart, who coordinates our series, will present one of her most challenging success stories and share the tips, techniques, and strategies that led her to the right ancestor in Germany. Join us as we hear an inspiring success story of breaking through a difficult German research brick wall. 

Do you have an elusive ancestor story—one where you finally uncovered your family in German records after an exhaustive search? We’d love for you to share your journey!

The German Community Forum Series offers a welcoming space for researchers to exchange strategies, discoveries, and success stories. Presentations may run anywhere from 15 minutes up to 2 hours, depending on your preference.

We currently have presentation slots available in November, December, January, and February. After a short break for the Spring Conference, the German Community Forum Series will resume with monthly Saturday sessions from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time through June.

This talk is free, and we hope to see you online. To register, e-mail ckfsmail@gmail.com, and put “Ohio PALAM GFS” on the subject line. We get so many emails; please be sure to use that specific title so that you can be sure to get registered and receive your ZOOM link.
