Germany Reference Book Lookups
Lookup Volunteers, If you own any books about Germany and will do look-ups,
please let me know. As you can see, volunteers are needed. Examples of the lookups needed are:
Feel free to request a lookup from the following books.
If you request a lookup, please thank your volunteer for his/her time.
Here are some suggestions from a former lookup volunteer:
"You have to find the name of the town in
Germany before you can do German research. Study the census where your
ancestor is listed after arriving in America. Copy three pages before and
after your ancestor. The people living near him are probably friends and
relatives. People usually emigrated in groups. Relatives don't always have
the same name. Perhaps your ancestor's sister and her husband and children
came at the same time and on the same boat and live in the same area. The
1900 census will tell you when your ancestor emigrated and if and when
he was naturalized. You can go to the county courthouse where he applied
or you can order films from the Mormon church of the naturalization papers.
Order the Declaration of Intent as it has more information than the others.
"Write the county historian or genealogical society
in the county where your ancestor lived when he first came to America.
Look for county, church and family histories. Remember that relatives don't
always have the same name so look at all the family histories for the area
where your ancestor lived. Once you have the name of the town in Germany,
then you can order films of the parish records, etc. from the Mormon church,
or better yet, take a trip to Germany!"
Remember, asking for a lookup does not substitute
for doing your own research! To find where your German ancestors' town
is today, try GEOserv.

| I have a copy of the "Bethany Cemetery Inscriptions - Charleston, So. Car...It covers Germans that migrated to Charleston and are buried there. This reflects burials records from 1841 thru 1995. I would be more than willing to do lookups, however the requests must be in English since I do not read German. | M. Ricker

| Surname Meanings/Origins What is in a surname? Where does it originate? What does it mean? Knowing this information broadens the researcher's methods of locating their ancestors. A number of books are in my possession, which are difficult to locate or order through inter library loan. These represent the meanings/origins of surnames for all nationalities. Upon request, I would provide information (including the source) regarding your surnames. A small fee will be charged per surname. If I have nothing on your surname I will advise and there would be no charge. If interested please refer to my home page for more details.
