Ulm, Thursday, May 20

Overcast and raining this morning, but it doesn’t matter because we are inside all day at the Haus der Donauschwaben. The Haus has a library and many displays of history and
culture. The AKdFF, the German research group for DS family history also rents space here and has its own collection of village Familienbuchs. Our group managed to stay pretty busy all day searching through all the various books. Here is part of our group hard at work and here we are with the lady in charge of the Haus, Frau Mojem. They were very hospitable to us, laying on a snack of fresh pretzels, chocolate, and drinks after our introductory tour and some cakes and coffee at lunch time.

When they closed at 4 pm, we drove on to Ulm where we will spend the next three days.
