FAMILY RESEARCH TOUR TO GERMANY, SEPTEMBER 2009

A tour to Germany to visit archives, museums and historical sites of relevance to family researchers is being planned for September 2009. The tour will last for approximately 14 days and the tour programme will be determined by the research interests of tour participants. The focus of the tour will be on family history research. Sight-seeing visits for partners not involved in family research will be arranged wherever possible.

The tour presents an ideal opportunity for researchers who have links to families in Germany to join with others with similar interests and to visit the country without themselves having to make the necessary tour arrangements.

The tour is being organised by the Northern Transvaal Branch of the Genealogical Society of South Africa. Those interested should please contact Ellen Harmse at 072 594 9050 or eharmse@mweb.co.za as soon as possible and not later than 31 October 2008.

GENEALOGIESE TOER NA DUITSLAND, SEPTEMBER 2009

‘n Toer na Duitsland waar argiewe, museums en ander plekke van belang vir die navorsing van familiegeskiedenis word vir September 2009 beplan. Die toer sal ongeveer 14 dae duur en die toerprogram sal bepaal word volgens die belange van toergangers. Die fokus van die toer is familiegeskiedenisnavorsing. Besoeke aan besienswaardige plekke sal, waar moontlik, gereël word vir metgeselle wat nie by familienavorsing betrokke is nie.

Die toer bied ‘n gulde geleentheid aan familienavorsers aan om met navorsers met soortgelyke belange kennis te maak en om Duitsland te besoek sonder dat hulle self die nodige toerreëlings hoef te maak.

Die toer word deur die Noord-Transvaal Tak van die Genealogiese Genootskap van Suid-Afrika gereël. Persone wat belangstel word gevra om vir Ellen Harmse so gou as moontlik, en nie later nie as 31 Oktober 2008, te kontak by 072 594 9050 of eharmse@mweb.co.za.
