German Genealogy: Australia
Volunteers needed to help with this Web-page for
German migration to Australia!
It is the desire and intent of
the German Genealogy team, who maintain these web-pages,
to constantly increase their value to the worldwide German
genealogy community. This can only be done with the help of the
expertise which exists in that world.
If you have a page of your own, or if you wish to add to the work you
find here, either as volunteer researcher or as a specialist who will
maintain, manage and grow a whole subcategory, please send a short
description of what you have in mind to the email address given bellow.
Someone will contact you.
You would be helping others to better understand the lives of their ancestors.
