Germanic Special Interest Group (Genealogy Interest Group (GIG))
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Walt Branch Library, 6701 S 14th, Lincoln Rooms 1 & 2
Bohemia and Moravia, the Cultural Field of Germans and Czechs
Míla Sasková-Pierce, PhD
The Czech lands went through a tumultuous history involving many nationalities. Over the centuries, Czechs and Germans lived side by side in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. There were intermarriages, cultural collaborations, and competitions. Charles University in Prague, founded in 1348, attracted European intellectual elite throughout the centuries, including Copernicus and Einstein.
Wars of succession and religious strife undid many Czech intellectual achievements. However, the shared territory created a space for unique cultural endeavors, the achievements of which became a part of true European culture. During the German and later Czech immigration waves, these achievements contributed to US society, and became a part of the Greater Germania, and Greater Czechia diasporas. Dr. Saskova-Pierce will include personal experiences from Prague, as shown in this 1968 picture of her confronting Russian soldiers. She will also discuss the relationships of Czech and Bohemian immigrants to German immigrants in Nebraska.
Germanic Interest Group led by Dennis Schulte.
Presentations and discussions would be of interest to those tracing their German heritage. Please join us for this session and bring a friend! Sessions are open to the public and visitors are always welcome.

Peggy has been searching for ancestors for 20 years but recently discovered that buildings had stories to tell.

2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Walt Branch Library, 6701 S 14th, Lincoln Rooms #1 & 2
The topic for this session is "Finding the Origins of Your Colonial Ancestors 1629-1775". We will explore the four migration groups who came to colonial America before the Revolutionary War and use maps to find where they settled in America.
Next, we will follow these groups back to their English counties of origin.
We will follow the Puritans, the Virginia and Chesapeake Settlers, the Quakers of the Delaware Valley and the Scots-Irish, America's backwoods settlers.
With about 1/3 of Americans claiming British ancestry, chances are that at some point you will need to extend your research "across the pond". These sessions are free and open to the public.
