SUMMARY:PGS-MN and Pommern Regional Group (PRG) Joint Program
DESCRIPTION:Finding My Kowalski Family\, from West Prussia to America\nSpeaker: Janet Savelkoul Mitchell\, PRG Member       \nThe speaker’s grandmother was born in West Prussia and emigrated to America in 1903. Based on information provided by her grandmother\, the speaker used many record groups to find the entire family and several generations backwards in time to 1793. \nLocalities\, maps\, research repositories and record groups used are detailed in the presentation\, including ancestral locale changes to Pomerania and Poland. Surnames researched both in Europe and America are also discussed. \n  \nStanley Kusz – Whose Military Were You Really In?\nSpeaker: Jim Neuenfeldt\, PRG President and PGS-MN Member\nJim will discuss the research methods used in finding and identifying his grandfather’s military history based on a photograph:  \n\nHow it compared to the stories he was told by family members. \nHow it relates to Pomerania and areas that relates to today’s Poland. \nHow he researched different types of Prussian military photographs\, which could be helpful to other genealogists.\n\n  \nThis program will be held in person at the Minnesota Genealogy Center\, 1385 Mendota Heights Road\, Mississippi Room\, Mendota Heights\, Minnesota 55120 as well as virtually by Zoom. A Zoom link will be sent to all PGS-MN members a few days before the program. Attendees (both Zoom and in-person) do not need to register in advance.  \nNot able to attend this event? The program will be recorded and available on the PGS-MN website (under Program Meeting Archives) about a week after the program is held. \nWe hope you will join us! \n
