Our Speaker this month:
Melanie Gnad

With a life long interest in history and murder mysteries, Melanie Gnad's undertaking of genealogical research wasn't a big surprise. About 10 years ago, her brother, Phil Seiflein, gave her a box of papers and photographs representing a decade of interviewing almost every living relative he could track down. Next, her husband, Tom had inherited a box of old photographs that needed identification. Melanie was intrigued and started looking at ways to compile the informtaion so these family memories weren't lost. Among her biggest resources were joining SCGS, participating in their annual Jamboree since 2006, joining the SCGS German Interest Group and more recently becoming a member of the Immigrant Genealogical Society. On a recent project for the German Interest Group, the focus on one relative's journey brought more clues about other family mysteries. She is looking forward to solving more mysteries and sharing the results not only on paper but by also looking into the many media choices now available so "the kids" may also enjoy their history.The goal of the SCGS German Interest Group is to provide a wide range of resources both inside and outside the SCGS Library to help trace German families. Throughout 2017, our German Group will renew its "Routing Our Roots" as well as present short programs on German Exiles in Los Angeles County, History of German Towns, Human Interest Stories on folks of German Heritage, learning German Words and Old German Script, plus any last minute thoughts.
