German Immigration Research
The toughest challenge to
American family history researchers is to find documentation proving an immigrant's hometown.
Dr. Minert is attempting to facilitate a solution by sponsoring and supervising a team of students who read German church records and collect genealogical data.
​
Since the initiation of this project in 2003 there have been 38 volumes published and over a hundred students employed.
