German Special Interest Group

Willkommen!

Our German SIG meets bimonthly to learn about and share a variety of topics related to the genealogy, genealogical resources, and other genealogical groups of Germans. Our meetings deal with not only these people within Germany but also in German communities outside that nation throughout Europe and in communities throughout the world where they have migrated.
