Synopsis

The German Genealogy Online Sourcebook shows researchers how to explore their Germanic heritage from the comfort of their computer. The book highlights important German genealogy resources on popular genealogy websites, including Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org, as well as lesser-known German sites. Readers will learn how to use each site to its fullest potential for German genealogy, including how to get around language barriers. Additionally, readers will learn the best websites to consult to answer key German genealogy questions, from unpuzzling place names to locating living relatives in the old country. An ideal companion to James M. Beidler’s Family Tree German Genealogy Guide, this book is equally useful as a standalone reference
