It really bothers me that there are so few german things to look at on
ancestry.com compared to the plethora of info from english speaking
countries!?

Hello, I found this information to be useful, but my situation is a little
different. I do not have a known german ancestor that immigrated; however,
while stationed in Germany during WWI, my American grandfather, who was in
the US Army, fathered a child with a German woman. I don’t know anything at
all about this child and since there are no immigration records, what can I
do?

Germany is tricky, especially for germans who came over in ww2. Before that
towns and provinces constantly changed. It is weird because the nazis
required documented family history to prove they were german… there must
be an office somewhare that still has those records.

First time watching your presentation. Thanks I like it, very informative.
😉 And my 1st time using the card catalog.. COOL I don’t see records for
East Prussia though; any thoughts where I can find them at? Thank you!
