SGGS Publications:

Latest update: 15 March 2005

 

Der Blumenbaum - a 48-page award winning quarterly journal that is the sole reason that so many members who live outside the Sacramento area join SGGS.  (More than half of SGGS' membership live so far from Sacramento that they cannot attend meetings - but they are eager to join so that they can receive Der Blumenbaum.)  It is mailed (bulk mail unless other arrangements are made) to all members.  Back issues are available for sale while the supply lasts.  Photocopies of articles from back issues that are no longer available are also sold.

 

Der Blumenbaum offers SGGS members useful facts about German research, resource ideas, how-to instructions, down-to-earth tips, surname indexes, free queries, research techniques, translator lists, mentor contacts, German cultural background pieces and vignettes, many old German engravings and prints as appropriate, archive tips and information, historical facts relative to German family history research.

 

We hear these two comments frequently from SGGS member-subscribers: 1) "I learn something useful from every issue," and 2) "I read each issue from cover to cover as soon as it arrives." 

 

 

Descriptive Catalog of German Research Resources  -  a 120 page catalog of the German research materials located at the Sacramento (Eastern Avenue) Family History Center.

 

The German Card  - a pocket research aid.

 

The German Handshake Packet - letters of introduction to German speaking acquaintances from non-German speaking society members.
