RLP 162 : Tracing 19th Century Germans Part 3

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is a continuation of our series on tracing 19th century German ancestors. Heidi Mathis is back sharing about what to do next after you find the hometown of your ancestor in Germany.  We discuss Archion, the German website for Protestant records and how to find baptismal records there. We also talk about the German mega-site, CompGen.de which can be used to locate German Genealogical Societies, German State Archives, OFBs (town family books), and learn how to research the jurisdictions of the hometown.  Links Part 5: Tracing Your 19th Century German Ancestors – German Archives - https://familylocket.com/part-5-tracing-your-19th-century-german-ancestors-german-archives/ RLP 157: Tracing 19th Century Germans Part 2 - https://familylocket.com/rlp-157-tracing-19th-century-germans-part-2/ RLP 156: Tracing 19th Century Germans Part 1  -https://familylocket.com/rlp-156-tracing-19th-century-germans-part-1/ Archion.de - https://www.archion.de/ - German site for family research in protestant church books Matricula - https://data.matricula-online.eu/en/ -Catholic church records for European countries Webinars by Teresa Steinkamp McMillin at Legacy Family Tree Webinars - https://familytreewebinars.com/teresamcmillin Compgen.de - https://www.compgen.de/ - the portal today's Germans use to research their ancestors GenWiki - http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/Hauptseite - Similar to how the Research Wiki is a part of FamilySearch, GenWiki is part of CompGen.de.  wikipedia.de - https://www.wikipedia.de/ - The German Wikipedia Staatsarchiv - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staatsarchiv - The German Wikipedia page for state archives has a good clickable list of all 16 state archives Research Like a Pro Resources Research Like a Pro: A Genealogist's Guide book by Diana Elder with Nicole Dyer on Amazon.com - https://amzn.to/2x0ku3d Research Like a Pro eCourse - independent study course -  https://familylocket.com/product/research-like-a-pro-e-course/ RLP Study Group - upcoming group and email notification list - https://familylocket.com/services/research-like-a-pro-study-group/ Research Like a Pro with DNA Resources Research Like a Pro with DNA: A Genealogist's Guide to Finding and Confirming Ancestors with DNA Evidence book by Diana Elder, Nicole Dyer, and Robin Wirthlin - https://amzn.to/3gn0hKx Research Like a Pro with DNA eCourse - independent study course -  https://familylocket.com/product/research-like-a-pro-with-dna-ecourse/ RLP with DNA Study Group - upcoming group and email notification list - https://familylocket.com/services/research-like-a-pro-with-dna-study-group/ Thank you Thanks for listening!
