Finding family in Germany can be challenging, as you need to first find the specific town or city where your family lived, and also usually the parish they attended. To help you with this goal, in this episode we share the three essential websites you can access from home to help with your German research.
1. Meyers or Meyer's Gazetteer of the German Empires: MeyersGaz.org
3. Gov Geschichtliche Ortsverzeichnis (Historic Gazetter)
Listen to this episode to get more information about what you will find on each website and how best to use these resources.
