[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] 2017 convention registration to open Feb. 1

[Edie Adam]

Registration will open Feb. 1 for the 2017 SGGEE meeting as part of the
much larger International Germanic Genealogy Conference, July 28-30 in
Minneapolis, Minn.

Early-bird registration will run through March; if you're a member of
SGGEE, you pay a discounted fee of $225 because our society belongs to the
International German Genealogy Partnership. (Non-partner members will be
charged $250.) Regular registration begins April 1 at the standard rate,
$299.

More than 70 presentations by some of the leading experts in German
genealogy are on the program. Those include Roger Minert, Ernest Thode,
Dirk Weissleder of Germany, Baerbel Johnson, Fritz Juengling, Michael
Lacopo, James Beidler, Paula Stuart-Warren, Teresa Steinkamp McMillin, Jill
Morelli and Stephen Morse. Daily “Connections” sessions and a slate of
presentations on regional specialties also are planned. SGGEE will have its
usual research room as well as its annual meeting during the conference.

Hotel rooms at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest Hotel in Brooklyn Park,
Minn., venue for the conference, sold out in December. Additional nearby
hotels are offering special rates for conference attendees; this
information is available on the SGGEE convention page:
https://sggee.org/convention/convention_news.html.

SGGEE will announce when the conference website is live. The site will also
offer detailed program schedules.
