This may not be quite what you think. "GRANDMA" stands for the Genealogical Registry and Database of Mennonite Ancestry, and it's just one topic to be touched upon in an Introduction to Mennonite Genealogy workshop later this month in Casper.
The workshop is offered as part of the five-day-long International Convention of Germans from Russia that will be staged at the Parkway Plaza Hotel and Convention Center. Presented by Tim Janzen of Portland, Oregon, the workshop is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., Thursday, July 31st in Ballroom B. It will provide an overview of research pertaining to Mennonites of Russian and West Prussian ancestry. The most important of the Mennonite genealogical source materials for Russian and Prussian Mennonites will be discussed.

In addition to this workshop, Dr. Janzen is also presenting Genetic Genealogy, A New Tool for Genealogists at 3:30 p.m., on Friday, August 1st in Ballroom A, and (KET) Kherson Taurien and Ekaterinoslav Region (with Debbie Bieck) at 8:30 a.m., on Saturday, August 2nd in Adrian's Room near the front of the Parkway Plaza Hotel and Convention Center.
