More German Proverbs
Do right and shun no one.
Speaking comes by nature, silence by understanding.
No one betrays himself by silence.
Nothing dries sooner than tears.
A poor person isn't he who has little, but he who needs a lot.
What three know will soon be known to thirty.
He who thinks of death begins to live.
The morning hour has gold in its mouth.
Bad times make good men.
Forgiven is not forgotten.

FEEFHS Conference
Registration is now open for the 2016 Eastern European Family History Conference to be held August 8-12, 2016. The program will be at the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel, convenient to the nearby Family History Library for research.
This year’s program is country-research-focused, with a full track on German research carrying over all three days, and extended Polish, Russian, and Austro-Hungarian research tracks. The FEEFHS board has been heavily involved in selecting just the right classes to provide both an introduction to researching in Eastern European countries as well as in-depth topics for more advanced researchers. Optional consultations are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Visit the conference website for full details and registration information.
