SUMMARY:Reflections Series: "The Rise and Fall of the Berlin Wall" Program
DESCRIPTION:Frank Sachs will present\, “Rise and Fall of the Berlin Wall” at the Lyon County Museum\, 301 West Lyon Street\, Marshall on Tuesday\, April 15 at 6:30 PM. \nThe Berlin Wall marked the official opening of the Cold War and was a physical barrier dividing Berlin into East and West sections to prevent citizens from escaping to the West\, effectively symbolizing the Cold War division between communist and democratic powers; however\, the fall of the wall in November of 1989 is widely considered a major turning point in the Cold War\, signifying the decline of communist power in Eastern Europe and the eventual reunification of Germany. \nFrank Sachs is a retired twin cities educator with a BS in American History and a MS in Guidance and Counseling.  He has taught in college\, and public and private schools for 45 years.  The last 37 were at the Blake School in Minneapolis where he was Director of College Counseling while teaching in the Social Studies department.  Frank retired from Blake in 2019 and is now serves as Faculty Emeritus. \nFree will donation.  Light refreshments will be served. \nFor more information\, contact the Lyon County Museum at 507-537-6580

SUMMARY:Genealogy Club Workshop

Documentation and verification are the two keys to providing evidence of our family history. This presentation will explore research techniques and resources that can help you dig into your family tree. Overviews of free and subscription websites\, helpful documents to chase\, and recommended software will be discussed. \nDrilling Down on Census\, Military and Vital Records: Census records can offer much more than simply who lived where\, when. Many census questionnaires asked varying questions from one decade to another that may surprise you. Developing the skill of reading the details of these documents may just help you break through your brick wall. Learn how to search them with a variety of techniques may improve your results. Military records can sometimes be frustrating to uncover\, but are worth the effort. Following the military paperwork may help gain valuable details lost in other sources. A number of different websites will be explored to aide your search. Vital records include birth\, death and marriage documentation. Many states had different begin by dates for officially collecting births\, death and marriages. Learn how to improve your search of the vital record databases. \nAbout the Speaker: \nSarah Lockwood is a proud Minnesotan\, with ancestry from both an adopted family and a birth family. Forensic genealogy has been a personal journey for Sarah. As an adoptee\, she used what she learned about forensic DNA matching to find her own birth mother and father! She turned her love of genealogy into a professional business. She began AncestryHelp in 2022\, as a small business\, to help others discover their family history one ancestor at a time and to help fellow family genealogists strengthen their research skills. Her two favorite projects to work on are writing family narratives and teaching research skills. Sarah has earned certificates in Genealogical Research from Boston University\, Investigative Genetic Genealogy from Ramapo College\, and has completed a ProGen Study Group.
