Tour Germany with genealogist Michael Lacopo

I have had a wonderful two weeks in Salt Lake City this January. What a way to begin 2013! Among the many friends I was fortunate to spend time with is Michael Lacopo from Indiana. I learned that he is leading a tour to Germany this coming October 14-22. I know he spent much of his time at the Family History Library on level B-1 researching in German records.

In Mike's own words: "There are simply too many places in this wondrous country worth seeing! In many respects the “tour” is indeed geared as just a trip to Germany, and not for genealogists per se. But what is most important is to experience Germany and seeing the magnificent sites along this thoughtfully planned itinerary is going to be amazing. And, having the opportunity to do some research along the way will make this a truly unique experience for us all."
