Discover the Lives Behind the Names
Your ancestors were more than names and dates. Their choices, hardships, hopes, and traditions molded the path that led to you.
At German Genealogy Headquarters, we seek to understand the human experience. We don’t just ask who, when, and where. We want to know how and why!
Explore the history and culture that shaped your ancestors’ lives. Learn to find, understand, and apply a variety of records – far beyond the basics.
Join engaging presentations and interactive study groups designed to give you the confidence and skills to uncover your own German family history.
German Genealogy Lab begins on January 7
