Romanian Interest Group meeting (19 Sep 2026)

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Romanian Interest Group Meeting

Please join us for our first meeting since the transition from Romanian Genealogy Society to Romanian Interest Group (RIG) of Minnesota Genealogical Society. There will not be a formal presentation this time, but we will talk about what you've been working on, what problems you are trying to solve, and what you would like to see happen with RIG in the future. We plan to engage professional speakers from Romania at some of our upcoming events, but this one is to get to know each other better. Please come prepared with your questions and recommendations for future meetings.

Access to the Zoom links for members-only Interest Group meetings

Sharing Together (28 Sep 2026)

Mon, 28 Sep 2026 23:30:00 GMT

Sharing Together

Join us for a fun, informative and informal night of sharing all things Danish and Danish-American genealogy and culture. Share breakthroughs, tips, brick walls, questions, general advice and overall genealogical "shop talk." Or perhaps share about a trip to Denmark, a favorite Danish recipe, or even a childhood memory of a Danish-American tradition your family celebrated. This is is an evening of open sharing, and all are welcome to attend. Whether you share or just listen, it's a great time to spend with others interested in discovering Danish roots and heritage. No need to register, simply join the Zoom meeting at the start of the event.

Danish Gazetteers and Maps (26 Oct 2026)

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 23:30:00 GMT

Danish Gazetteers and Maps

While we have grown accustomed to using Google maps to find places in our daily lives, sometimes we need to go a bit "old school" to find the towns and parishes that our ancestors hailed from. Learn what a gazetteer is, what information can be found in them, how they can help you find towns and statistical information, as well as how to locate maps unique to Danish genealogy. We will also touch upon some gazetteers and maps to help with American genealogical research.

Speaker is Heather Nelsen, Vice President and Education Programming Director of the National Danish-American Genealogical Society. No need to register, simply join the Zoom meeting at the start of the event.
