German genealogy begins in the U.S.

Ultimately we seek a German village of origin in  U.S. records. But first we connect ourselves to an ancestor. Carol Whitton, StLGS projects director, helps you recognize and avoid online pitfalls. Use a different thought process for each ancestor. Answer U.S. questions. Build the whole U.S. family. Learn about Germany. Verify the German village with two U.S. records. Then, we begin research in Germany with parish records. Zoom classes are offered to members only. Become a member. Register for Zoom.
