Topic: Germans Found in U.S. Federal Records on the Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society Website
Bob Greiner will discuss the many resources available on the website of the Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society (MAGS). He will describe various genealogical collections that MAGS has indexed and that are searchable by name on the website. These collections include unique records from churches and institutions, U.S. Department of State consulates in Germany, U.S. government Pension Bureau, and emigration notices from German legal newspapers. He will highlight specific examples of records that reference people from Texas.
The leaders of this group are Ann Broihier and Bernard Meisner. Contact: ggg@dallasgenealogy.org. Learn more about the German Genealogy Group
