Dive into the fascinating history of the Mecklenburg region and discover how to trace your ancestral roots with expert guidance. This presentation will begin with a journey through the historic landscape of two Mecklenburgs – Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz – highlighting their cultural and political development over the centuries. We will explore a wealth of genealogical resources, both online and in archives, that can help you uncover your family’s past. Special emphasis will be placed on church records, civil records, and the Mecklenburg census. But you will also learn about special sources off the beaten path, such as family records and emigration documents. Whether you’re just beginning your genealogical journey or looking for new avenues of research, this presentation will provide valuable insights and strategies to help you piece together your Mecklenburg heritage.

learned something new
The speaker opened up so many doors and possibilities for us and clues to do additional research, that I would like to book a plane ticket to Germany this Fall.
Very very excellent, always such a pleasure to learn from Andrea’s performances. I found the detailed information on how to use the various links within the local heritage books to be most helpful – walking through the Ortsfamilienbucher features was so educational.
So much great information. I have relatives that came via Hamburg – did not think of searching in Mecklenburg – but now I will. Really enjoyed.
I haven’t seen it all yet, but what I did see was wonderful and getting me excited to delve in to my genealogy again
So much interesting information!
Very helpful webinar.
Lots of great information.
