If you are interested in discovering more about your German-speaking ancestors, you are in the right place! We are a friendly group of over 800 members who are passionate about researching the life and times of our German-speaking ancestors. Feel free to explore our pages--some of which are still under development--and join us to learn more about resources for finding your Germanic roots. We would like to hear your stories and genealogical adventures.

Please keep in mind this website is a work in progress. We are a nonprofit all-volunteer organization and we are adding content as we can. Perhaps you have an area of interest or expertise and would like to volunteer to help us meet our goals!
