Can You Ever Go Home Again?

presented by John Althouse

How can one discover what a place where the family lived in the past was like without actually travelling there? German "Adressbücher" (a directory) and other online resources may help the genealogist rediscover these places. I will provide my research on our family home in Paderborn from c. 1875 to 1900. Hopefully, this presentation may answer the question, "Can you ever go home again?" (Notes and a newsletter will be sent to those attending.)
