Our History

The creation of the International German Genealogy Partnership grew from a desire to make a connection between societies in the United States and German-speaking areas. A few conversations in 2014 brought about the current partnership that includes more than 100 organizations with thousands of members.

Die GrĂŒndung der International German Genealogy Partnership entstand aus dem Wunsch heraus, eine Verbindung zwischen genealogischen Organisationen in den Vereinigten Staaten und solchen in deutschsprachigen Gebieten herzustellen. Ein paar GesprĂ€che im Jahr 2014 fĂŒhrten zu der aktuellen Partnerschaft, die ĂŒber 100 Organisationen und Tausende von Mitgliedern umfasst.
