Ernest Thode’s updated guide, Genealogy at a Glance: German Genealogy Research – Updated Edition, continues to simplify the world of genealogy in just four pages. Initially released in 2011, this guide has been refreshed to feature the most recent links for online genealogy websites, along with extra tips and recommended resources for those seeking their German ancestry.
Despite the fact that many Americans have German roots, tracing these back can be quite a labyrinth because Germany only became an independent state in 1871; this means that German heritage extends far beyond Germany into regions of central Europe where German is spoken, such as Austria, Switzerland, and parts of Belgium, Denmark, Poland, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This complexity can make uncovering one’s German lineage quite complicated.
However, Thode’s updated guide – Genealogy at a Glance: German Genealogy Research – undoubtedly provides needed aid in navigating this journey. Featuring a wealth of information including German emigration to America, details about surnames and first names, place of origin, church records, public registration and censuses with references to the best books and online resources, this guide equips you with every key element needed to develop a comprehensive research strategy.
