The spring 2015 meeting of the Indiana Chapter, Palatines to America will be held on Saturday, April 18 at the Athenaeum in Indianapolis. It will feature presentations on the subjects of emigration and immigration—topics that are certainly of importance both genealogically and historically to everyone with German ancestors. Heiko Mühr, special collections cataloger of German language materials at the Herman B Wells Library at Indiana University in Bloomington, will give two presentations: “German Emigration History: What Historical Forces Led to German Mass Emigration?” and “The German-American Experience in the United States”. The final presentation will be given by Kent Robinson and will focus on using a variety of sources to search for your ancestors either in Germany prior to emigration or upon arrival in the U.S. This program will also include the Annual Meeting of the Indiana Chapter including the election of officers for 2015-2017 and any other business that may come before the society. The meeting registration begins at 9:00 AM and the program will begin at 9:30 AM and end around 3:00 PM. Registration is $15 for Pal-Am members and $20 for non-members (or Pal-Am members after April 6). Lunch will be available in the Rathskeller Restaurant, but is not included in the registration fee.
