Topic: Note the following discription from Diane
The German Interest Group has purchased many books over the years for the German section at IGS. Some people may think that books are out-of-date in today's world of technology. However, the IGS theme last year was "Not Everything Is On The Internet." Diane Green is a long-time German Interest Group member and knows that many of these books have value for those who take time to peruse them. She will give a preview of 1. New books on our shelves (purchased in memory of Linda Enghausen or recently donated), as well as these other categories 2. Good for beginners; 3. Hidden gems, and 4. Books for advanced researchers. Here are a few titles: "Family Tree Historical Atlas of Germany" by James Beidler, and "German Genealogical Queries and Research Reports Pertaining to Baden-Württemberg and Other Germanic Regions" by Professor Burkehart Oertel.
