The German language is the common denominator of our German heritage and not the current or 1871 boarders. Borders only define where the records are located and the archive policies for accessibility, which varies widely. The presenters will give tips and tricks for collecting additional knowledge of your immigrant ancestor.
Highlighted will be resources at IGS, regional archives, and the internet. Included will be a review of two up and coming websites: Archion and Matricula which are digitizing German Protestant and Catholic church records. Register
