March 5th 2019, 1:30 pm - The Great War: Anti-German Hysteria and Conflict on the Home Front Presented by David Desimone, Director of Black Point Estate and Gardens
Given Wisconsin's large German-American population, anti-German hysteria had a significant impact on our State. This program will look at the national, regional, local and personal responses to the outbreak of war in 1914 and subsequent U.S. involvement in 1917.

Mission Statement
The Walworth County Genealogical Society was organized for the purpose of bringing together family researchers who can network together and promote preservation of heirlooms and documents. Our goal is to help others find their ancestors, to educate them about genealogy, to copy cemetery data in the area and to stimulate interest in our county and genealogy.
