About this webinar

With German speakers being the largest non-British group of migrants to Australia in the nineteenth century, many Australians find a German line that needs researching. Issues such as name changes, language barriers and identifying place of origin, however, hold some researchers back, but more often than not records exist online to help break through. Identifying the records that will help reveal correct forms of names, and places of origins, and analysing the credibility of the various sources and variations is critical. An introduction to a range of sources and source types to help researchers trace their German-Australian families both in Australia and overseas.

    Always a great presenter and I am still trying to track down my 2nd great grandparents from Prussia.

    Ben was a great speaker and told us so much. Lots of very helpful information when doing your family history and not just with German families. This is the first time I have attended one of your webinars and I will be back for more! Many thanks for a presenting this today.

    Hi very interesting

    I don’t believe any of my German ancestors went to Australia; however I very much enjoyed Benjamin’s webinar.

    I learnt a lot. Thanks very much.

    i’m sure it will give me help with the family members that came to Canada from Hamburg.

    It was most informative and gave me encouragement as I continue with my research.

    It was so informative- would be nice to have him back for another class just on the different German regions/dialects and travel patterns of Germans
