Welcome to German genealogy and history at GoAncestry! We are striving to focus upon emigration from primarily European countries and subsequent immigration to North American regions. Many of our users are looking back towards their ancestors, but we also wish to help those in the homelands find the paths their descendants took after they departed.
We are willing to assist our homeland researchers in any way that we can. Our forums allow for interaction, and we can provide at least the basic translation service to help in our collaborations. If you are looking for your ancestors or descendants, please join us, we will work together if that will help.
Willkommen bei der deutschen Genealogie und Geschichte bei GoAncestry! Wir streben danach, uns auf die Emigration aus vorwiegend europäischen Ländern und die anschließende Einwanderung in nordamerikanische Regionen zu konzentrieren. Viele unserer Benutzer schauen zurück zu ihren Vorfahren, aber wir wollen auch denjenigen helfen, die in den Heimatländern die Wege finden, die ihre Nachkommen nach ihrer Abreise verbracht haben.
Wir sind bereit, unsere Heimatforscher in jeder Weise zu unterstützen, die wir können. Unsere Foren ermöglichen die Interaktion, und wir können mindestens die grundlegende Übersetzung Service in unseren Kooperationen zu helfen. Wenn Sie nach Ihren Vorfahren oder Nachkommen suchen, bitte verbinden Sie uns, wir werden zusammenarbeiten, wenn das hilft.

The table below lists the Constituent States of Germany and their respective Capitals. This is a good starting place when preparing to research German ancestors. Though maps change over time, records of specific localities may still be found in the current State archives. All State pages are now starting to be populated. Please refer to the sitewide German Forums link above to share information or ask questions.
One objective is to help German researchers discover those who have left the German-speaking world and come to North America.
Ein Ziel ist es, deutschen Forschern dabei zu helfen, diejenigen zu entdecken, die den deutschsprachigen Raum verlassen haben und nach Nordamerika kommen.
