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.

An introduction to a range of sources and source types to help researchers trace their German-Australian families both in Australia and overseas.

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.
