RLP 148: Germans in Missouri with Heidi Mathis

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about German immigration to St. Louis, Missouri in the 1840s-1860s. We discuss the reasons for immigration and the cultural differences between Americans and newly arrived Germans. Heidi Mathis shares the historical context she learned when researching her ancestor, Burkhard Schlag, who arrived in St. Louis in 1854 from Hesse. </span></p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/mid-19th-century-germans-in-st-louis/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Mid-19th Century Germans in St. Louis</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">by Heidi Mathis at Family Locket</span></p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE2ZJPj8UMM"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Using German Newspapers When You don't Know Much German</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/product/research-like-a-pro-e-course/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Research Like a Pro eCourse</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/product/research-like-a-pro-study-group-wed-1/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Study Group</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- more information and email list</span></p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/2x0ku3d"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Research Like a Pro: A Genealogist's Guide</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by Diana Elder with Nicole Dyer on Amazon.com</span></p> <p><strong>Thank you</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thanks for listening!
