Genealogy symposium planned in June

An international perspective of the Homestead Act's influence on migration to the United States is the newest topic to be added to a two-day Land Records and Genealogy Symposium to be held next month in Beatrice.

Wolfgang Grams of Oldenburg, Germany, will present a program titled "From Homelands to Homesteaders," which will examine living conditions in 19th-century Germany, and the longing for land among rural Germans that led many to travel to America.

Grams is the head of a German research and travel company called "Routes to Roots." He often brings tour groups to the United States to visit places to which group members' ancestors migrated. In fact, he previously visited Nebraska and Homestead National Monument of America in summer 2002.
