So fascinating!!! I can’t wait to share this too with other family members!
I appreciated Ursula‘s approach to covering such a broad swath of history and making it seem more approachable for those who want to place their genealogical research and stories in context.
Wonderful overview with excellent details!
Good information and presented well
Knowing the history is so important, but "Germany" was so large and diverse
Well organized huge presentation - easy to follow along. Wonderful to learn the many reasons over time for emigrations from 'Germany'. And the possible places to look for records driven by governing and social changes. Many thanks Ursula!
Great

Well done; good to have slides to follow along. Danke, Ursula!
