All About German History, Genealogy, Immigration, and Citizenship

Germany’s local history, genealogy, and patterns of immigration offer a fascinating window into the lives of people who have shaped the nation’s identity over centuries. From medieval villages with their distinct traditions to the waves of migration that spread German culture across the globe, each decade and document helps to tell the story of how people lived and helped to shape the world around them. Political unrest, economic hardship, and the promise of opportunity abroad have motivated millions of Germans to emigrate from their homeland, while those who stayed wrote their own chapters in Germany’s history. And through genealogy, we can uncover connections and trace where our ancestors came from and what they went through on the journey that eventually created us.
