PLEASE ANSWER THIS POST TO JOIN THE GERMANY PROJECT: If you have a question about German Genealogy, please create a new G2G post with your question (click on "Ask A Question" above) and add the tag "Germany". Thanks!
The Germany Project is seeking members to join us as we add and improve the profiles of our German ancestors (those that lived in the country we now know as the Federal Republic of Germany, formerly the German Confederation, Prussia, Holy Roman Empire, etc.).
The Germany Project covers all things German, including 16 regional teams, functional teams for translation and profile improvement, as well as historical, migrational and special-interest teams. If there’s not an existing team that covers your area of interest, just let us know and we can look into adding one. Take a look at our main PROJECT PAGE for links to our teams.
The Germany Project is a helpful community that encourages collaboration between people from all around the world. Along with sourcing, connecting and improving German profiles, our project is developing a German portal, which will make it much easier to collaborate with German-speaking members. The future of the Germany Project is bright with possibilities and it’s a very exciting time to join us.
Membership is open to all who have:
- signed WikiTree’s Honor Code
- been a WikiTree member for at least 3 months, and
- made at least 100 contributions to our shared tree
Joining is easy … just post an ANSWER below (as opposed to a comment or reply - note that comments will be answered but then hidden). Please state:
- that you'd like to join the project,
- what your German-related interests are, and
- what you want to contribute to the project.
Our only contribution requirements are: (1) you respond to twice yearly check-ins, and (2) you improve one German profile every 6 months.
The only thing you’ve got to lose is a brick-wall or two!
P.S. You don't have to join the project to add the German Roots sticker to your profile ... simply copy the following and add it to your profile:
{{German Roots Sticker}}
