Struggling with finding your German ancestors? Maybe they were part of the large group who left their native land to settle in their own ethnic and religious groups. Join Gail Shaffer Blankenau, presenter of the popular "Women Homesteaders and Genealogy <http://familytreewebinars.com/download.php?webinar_id=309>" webinar, as she teaches us how to find our *Germans from Russia*.
*Webinar's Description* In 1762, Empress Catherine of Russia invited ethnic Germans to immigrate to Russia to develop the country's agriculture, allowing them to retain their language and culture. Thousands of Germans left their native land to settle in their own ethnic and religious groups. In the late 18th century some of Catherine's preferential terms began to be revoked, prompting another large migration--this time to the New World. We will discuss issues facing genealogists who have ancestors who were Germans from Russia as well as explore sources and methods. *How to view:* If you are an annual or monthly webinar subscriber, this webinar's recording is now available in the Webinar Library.
