During these strange times, we can at least not feel so guilty about spending hours at our computer. As genealogists and family historians, we love to learn almost as much as we love finding new details and records about our ancestors and right now, learning from home has never been so easy!
Over the last few weeks I’ve found some new resources, delved deeper into some old favourites, plus also…

Legacy Family Tree Webinars : Find Your Roots in German Farm Histories
Coming up on the last chance to watch Gail Blankenau’s webinar on German farm histories without a membership! I have at least 3 different family groups that were German-speaking, so I’m sure the knowledge from this webinar will be useful to me.
Two things that I thought were pretty interesting observations--German farmers had a rather different experience than American farmers. Gail pointed out that unlike the possibly far-flung rural American farmers with their sprawling acres, their German equivalents tended to be more compact and much closer to a village, which was extremely important in their culture. And second, that while the proportion of Germans who were farmers of course declined over the years, nevertheless quite a lot of the German immigrants to the US were and remained farmers.
Anyway, if you’ve got German ancestry, or want to learn some about their farms, I’d recommend it. It gives a great overview of the importance and role of the farm, and of the kinds of records that give you a picture of that crucial part of these people’s lives.
