-May Jeff Schiebe “Eine Rückreise ins Heimatland” (“A Return Trip to the Home Country“)
This presentation will discuss the challenges of finding and visiting your ancestral towns and villages. It will take you through, by telling a story, the actions taken and tools used to make three different trips to the same town in Germany more successful and rewarding. The presentation will complement the article in the upcoming CCGS Spring Journal, entitled Third Time is a Charm.
Jeff Schiebe has a lifelong passion for genealogy and researching his family’s history. His current project is “The Great Eight”—writing a story for each of his eight great-grandparents, all from Europe, primarily Germany.
He is an active member of the Southborough Genealogy Club, Shrewsbury Genealogy Club, Cape Cod Genealogical Society, Plymouth (MN) Historical Society, and numerous German and Pomeranian genealogy organizations. In his professional life, he has visited more than 50 countries, including several ancestral
homelands.
