Heritage Quest Research Library German Research when you do not speak the Language
Doing German (and other country) Records When You Don’t Speak the Language. While focusing on German records for those who live in America and don’t speak German, this program will also assist people looking at ancestral records from other areas of the world. There are many helpful websites and tools to assist in translation, locating people and places, and narrowing your search. This does NOT deal with how to transcribe Gothic German Script but will give direction on where those helps can be found. Don’t stop your research just because you came to the ocean!
