German Genealogy Group

 


I was once told that most every American has a good portion of German DNA in their ancestry. I know I do. 

I discovered the German Genealogy Group (GGG) some years ago and have been a member ever since. I am astonished by the MANY FREE searchable records they offer!


Total Database Records (includes all nationalities!): 23,323,444 (FREE to search)

Please take the time to explore our site and its features.



Membership in the German Genealogy Group (which is based on Long Island, New York) is a modest $15 annually and brings to you the monthly Der Ahnenforscher newsletter. This publication includes member stories, timely articles, German recipes and upcoming GGG seminars. 

The April 2024 newsletter directed readers to a really interesting link/website dealing with German Funerary Laws. I printed out the 10-page handout to really study it! Click to www.germanyway.com/history-and-culture/germany/the-german-way-of-death-funerals

Another similar link was titled "What's With Germany's Strict Burial Regulations?"

If Americans collectively have one-fourth German ancestry, that usually means YOU and certainly ME, and GGG is the group for you. Click to www.germangenealogygroup.com and plan to spend a couple of delightful research hours.
