"The Giessen Immigration Society :
Was my 2nd Great Grandfather a Member?"
Presented by: Carole Sobke
The Giessen Immigration Society formed in Giessen, Hesse, Germany, in 1833 and nearly 500 passengers sailed in two ships in 1834. Most of the passengers settled in Missouri, although a few went to Illinois. Carole will talk about the society and try to prove a 3 year old was her 2nd great-grandfather!
