- The 1848 Revolutions were "the most widespread revolutionary wave in european history" and the German revolutions of 1848-1849 that branched off targeted German unification. After the failed revolution(s), many of the participants, known as Forty-Eighter, emigrated to the U.S. and elsewhere either due to dissapointment or due to political suppression. The disapora of those who emigrated and their influence in their new host countries is one potentiai topic and the effect of those who remained in Europe and their influence in achieving unification in 1871 is another.

- Schwalm cultural region in northern Hesse (includes Ascherode, Gungelshausen, Holzburg, Leimbach, Loshausen, Merzhausen, Niedergrenzebach, Obergrenzebach, Ransbach, Riebelsdorf, Röllshausen, Rückershausen, Salmshausen, Schönberg, Schrecksbach, Steina, Wasenberg, Willingshausen, Zella, and Ziegenhain) Haggard-634 19:05, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Siberia, Kazakhstan, & Ural mountain Germans (or should these be separate?) (need a coordinator/s)
- Pennsylvania Dutch (need a coordinator)
- The North Sea islands of Nordfriesland (Foehr, Amrum, Sylt, etc.) in Schleswig-Holstein. I am particularly interested in Foehr where my paternal grandmother Marie Dorothea (Cordes) Benefiel and her parents emigrated from in 1895. I know there were many Foehrers who emigrated to America (particularly the Midwest and Northern California) in that era, e.g. have a look at http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=foehr
- Germany Pre-1700 subproject. To improve profiles of early (Pre-1700) German people and their descendants (Pre-1700). Jana Shea 15:53 17 March 2019 (EST)
- Witch Trials in Germany More than 400 others were convicted over the next 7 years in this dark period known as the Ellwangen Witch Trials, for which much has been written. See also:
- A Switzerland Project is in the works. Space:Switzerland At this point I don't know yet whether it will be a Full Project or a Sub-project, but Canton Sub-categories are being created. Rheintal would be a sub-category to the Canton of Saint Gallen.
- Hi! I am Appell-23. My german is limited, but I would love to be a part of or create and manage a subgroup concentrating just on the region of Waldeck, as almost all of my relatives are from Nieder Wildungen or Alt Wildungen, which is today called Bad Wildungen.
- (1200-1712) County Waldeck; (1712-1868) became Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont, (1868 - 1929) maintained it's legislatively sovereign principality within Prussia and in 1929 officially became a part of Prussia.I plan to go there this fall (if all goes well) to meet up with locals and would love to photograph the cemeteries.
- Mennonites as I have noticed at least two people on wikitree with an interest...https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1208962/advice-this-pre-1700-lichty-profile-project
- There is already a Mennonites in North America page that's been around a long time. I'm a "member" and have Trusted List access, but I don't own the page. It could probably use some focused work on it. Weddington-53 01:52, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Perhaps a team or page for the Ostfriesland area and immigrants to the United States. (Weddington-53 01:52, 6 November 2023 (UTC)) Resources include:

- Russian-German subproject, which includes sub-subprojects Volhynia, Volga Germans, Black Sea/Crimean Germans, and their subsequent forced removal to Siberia & Kazakhstan or emigration to the U.S. Canada, etc. R. Neff Neff-1845 04:04, 19 February 2019 (UTC)|Kylie 19 May 2021

Also do you have examples of your standards for biographies, etc. At my age (82), I am a slow learner. I am trying to enter GEDCOM for the Harms family. Input is the California Mennonite Historical Society (GRanDMA Online 6) which is translating old church records into English. I think two Mennonite colleges are also participating in this project. Is this source fairly acceptable? I realize whatever we enter will probably need revising as new information becomes available. This may not be the "professional" approach, but to my naive, something is better than nothing--even if we have to make corrections as we go. Anyway, I will try to abide by your guidance. I am not trying to "rock the boat" I am just trying to get as many family members into the system as possible, with the hope someone will correct any mistakes I happen to make.
