WW2 American Nazism
German American Federation/Bund Quoting the US National Archives: “The German American Bund was an unincorporated voluntary national association established on March 29, 1936, to spread the philosophy of National Socialism and to carry out Adolph Hitler’s program insofar as it affected the United States. The leadership of the Bund attempted to meld Nazi racial theories with American patriotic values. Headquartered in New York, the Bund was a nationwide organization having three departments and approximately seventy local chapters throughout the United States, as well as numerous organizations which were directly or indirectly affiliated with it.” The FBI investigated the Bund’s relationship to the Nazi Party of Germany.

British (UK) Nazism
Quoting from: Martin Pugh https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199594788.013.0027 Pages: 489–506 Published: 18 September 2012 Traditionally, fascism in Britain has been seen in fairly narrow terms as a phenomenon of the 1930s associated with Sir Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists (BUF). This approach to the subject made it easy to account for the fortunes of fascism as a movement essentially marginal to British society and thus of limited significance. The Union Movement that Mosley founded in 1948 campaigned for imperial control of Africa, a united Europe, and an end to coloured immigration. But this did not amount to a full fascist programme; the movement found itself caught halfway between the conventional…

Prussian-German Genealogy Workshop
Do you have interest in attending a ‘distance’ Prussian-German Genealogy Working Group? By way of giving you some background, I currently hold a monthly Prussian-German Genealogy Workshop at my local Parker (Colorado) Family History Center (FHC). There are no charges for the current ‘in-person’ workshop(s). Recently, I received approval from my local FHC to host a remote session using their good offices. What I am attempting to assess is whether or not there are ‘potential attendees out there’ who are interested in adding a ‘distance’ workshop. If there are, then I need to determine: whether I should blending ‘distance’ attendance with our current sessions, or simply create a new ‘remote’…

Castle Rock Genealogical Society Presentation
Well yesterday was one of those wonderful experiences for me. I had the opportunity to meet with and speak to the Castle Rock Genealogical Group about Technology and Genealogy. (My presentation materials are online here: Survey of Genealogy Related Technologies) For me the group was huge; okay, not really huge but larger than any I have ever the pleasure of speaking to before. The folks were congenial, enthusiastic and engaged. Their facilities (a spacious and well equipped meeting room in the Castle Rock Library) were wonderful. And their singing (yes they sang happy birthday to a member whose big day it was) was, well, a bit off key- probably because…

Tools for date calculations
Date calculations are quite useful and necessary in doing genealogy work. If you are like me, I constantly need to count backwards and forward from one event to another: death to birth, birth to marriage, etc. I find this type of calculation is more necessary when there is a paucity of information and documentation available for a single person. Here are some links to help: Time & Date Calculator Date Calculator Page (Duke Univ.) Birth Date Calculator from ProGenealogists
