Grouper Developers Forum

In addition to the group name, you have the group id too since it's in 
the change log, right?  If so, you can use findById(String id, boolean 
exceptionIfNotFound).

Otherwise, I think the "from" and "to" timestamps would be the same and 
they would be the time at which the membership was deleted (which is 
also in the change log).  That would give you the group (by name) at the 
time the membership was deleted.

Thanks!
