Welcome to CAGGNI!
While CAGGNI takes a break in December, In January, CAGGNI will proudly present:Apprentices, Indentured Servants, and German Redemptioners by Peggy Lauritzen 10:30 a.m. CT Saturday, 21 January 2023 Hybrid event – Zoom and An estimated one-half of early immigrants came to America against their own will; some as indentured servants. Our ancestors arrived in many different ways as their lives touched the early colonies. Some voyages were planned, many were not. This lecture will examine the many different forms of servitude and indentureship in early America. Peggy Clemens Lauritzen, AG, FOGS, has an amazing ability to bring laughter into the lives of her audience members. Peggy is a frequent lecturer at family history seminars and has presented at Brigham Young University and ICAPGen and taught Continuing Education classes at community colleges and The Ohio State University. She tested through ICAPGen to become an Accredited Genealogist, a credential she has maintained for 25 years. Our speaker will join us via Zoom from Ohio. If you live in the Northern Illinois area, we will be booking the library and encourage you to join us for the best experience.
