Second Saturday: The 'Push' & the 'Pull,' Decision-Making of the 19th Century Immigrant (Classes and Workshops)
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm Zoom, at home or at SGS library
Jill Morelli will present "The 'Push' & the 'Pull,' Decision-Making of the 19th Century Immigrant" on Saturday this month in lieu of the usual Sunday presentation.
Rarely does an immigrant write "we immigrated because...." However, diaries, and letters can often yield clues as to why your ancestors left their home country and went to another. Using an 1864 letter written shortly after immigration to his brother still in Germany, we will explore the many reasons that can be extracted from the letter and identify some other sources if your ancestor did not conveniently write about their experience.
To view at the library, please see registration for Membership Meeting above.
To view from home, register here.
After registering, you will be able to join the meeting immediately from the registration window. You will also receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
NOTE: This presentation will be preceded by a general membership meeting of the Seattle Genealogical Society, which begins at 12:30. If you do not wish to attend the membership meeting, you may join the Zoom meeting a few minutes before 1:00. If you wish to attend the membership meeting, come at 12:30. Only one advance registration is required for both events.
Speaker: Jill Morelli, CG, CGL, is a writer, lecturer, and researcher specializing in methodology, the U.S. Midwest, and Scandinavia. In 2017, she founded the online “Certification Discussion Group,” sharing her journey and demystifying the process of submission of a portfolio to the Board for Certification of Genealogists. Jill is past president of the Seattle Genealogical Society and co-founder of the Applied Genealogy Institute.
