Internet research for German ancestors is not as fully developed as it is for North American or British ancestors, but don't let that stop you! There is a significant subscription site, along with some important indexes, original and compiled, records online. Fortunately, the number of actual records online is growing at a significant rate. Other German genealogy sites provide important information about places or sources. Indeed, your research will suffer if you don't use the Internet for your German research.
