Welcome to the updated Sno-Isle Genealogical Society (SIGS) website! While our web address remains the same at www.snoislegenealogy.org, you will notice a refreshed design that is significantly more accessible on mobile phones and tablets. This transition was necessary as our previous software reached the end of its technical lifespan, and we have taken this opportunity to introduce enhanced features offered by the updated software. If you are a current SIGS member, you should have received an email from webadmin@snoislegenealogy.org with instructions to reset your password to gain access to the member features on our website. If you have any difficulties, please email Lisa at webadmin@snoislegenealogy.org.

November General Meeting - Beyond the Nutcracker: German Christmas Traditions
Via Zoom, online only, registration required - https://bit.ly/SIGSNov26
Looking for a festive way to start the holiday season? Mark your calendars for our upcoming virtual meeting on Wednesday, November 4th at 6:30 PM, featuring author, genealogist, and speaker Claire Gebben. In her presentation, "Beyond the Nutcracker: German Christmas Traditions," Claire will explore how 18th- and 19th-century German immigrants shaped beloved holiday staples—from decorated trees and “Silent Night” to the story of the Nutcracker—as well as fascinating traditions still celebrated in Germany today.
Even if you don’t have German roots, this presentation offers something for everyone. Embracing seasonal traditions, heritage recipes, and music is one of the most natural, engaging ways to share family history across generations and get younger family members curious about their own roots.
Register to attend this presentation via Zoom at https://bit.ly/SIGSNov26. Once you register, you will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link for the meeting. Be sure to add the personal link you receive to your calendar so you can find it and enjoy the meeting! Please note this meeting will be online only via Zoom.
