Finding German Villages for Genealogy and Family History with James M. Beidler

This presentation goes over the sources to tie your immigrant to a Heimat (Heimat (pronounced [ˈhaɪmat]) is a German word translating to "home" or "homeland" ) and then find the village and its records! Renowned German genealogy expert James M. Beidler presented this session at the Genealogy Gems booth at Rootstech in Salt Lake City.
