Meyer’s Gazetteer is great for determining jurisdictions as of 1912. Germany was not a country until 1871. In the centuries leading up to that, land areas were constantly changing hands. One must understand who controlled a given area in order to find all possible records. Topics included in this lecture are: Use of Meyer’s gazetteer and its impact on the Family History Library catalog, Macro jurisdictional changes in historical Germanic areas, Tactics for determining jurisdictions of a village or small land holding over time, Examples of changing jurisdictions for selected areas, Key German vocabulary will be included.

Super presentation — hope she does a lot more!!
Teresa is one of the best for detail and I received several good suggestions for finding my ancestors in Prussia. Many thanks for these great webinars that are real eye openers!
Thank you for all the tips and hints and things to try. That will be the most difficult, but I now feel a little more confident.
Thank you!
Thanks for all the tips. I will look for them.
This is one of the best presenters I have heard on Legacy Webinars. Teresa’s style was smooth and unfettered. She knew her material so well that she didn’t just read the powerpoint as some presenters seem to do. Better yet, her substance was amazingly detailed and helpful. If one only copied down the URLs she suggested, one would have hours of successful genealogy mining. 5 stars for Teresa!
This was my first ever webinar on any topic. I’m eager to try out some of the things I learned.
This was terrific! I think I’ll have to look at it again to grasp a lot of what she went over.
This will be a big help when I am working on my ancestors in there areas where there were Germans. Thank you
top-notch!
Truly jam packed with many hints and guides to help in my research.

Very informative. She gave me lots of ideas to further my Germanic research. Great presenter!
Very interesting and what I learned will be useful for me. However I will watch it again as I found it was a lot of info to take in in one sitting. Thank you for offering webinars such as this one.
VERY INTERESTING. Teresa is an excellent speaker who gives the listener good tips and breaks down topic into “bite sized” pieces for the audience to follow.
Very knowledgeable about great leads. Great presenter. Talked at good reasonable pace.
What a fantastic webinar – informative, organized, and great syllabus. Thank you!
Will be of great help with my husband’s German ancestry – unfortunately I still have a 3-gts-grandfather born “Germany” but Teresa did offer some suggestions to narrow that, plus I’ll watch the Ursula Krause webinar on that. Thanks
Will need to watch again!
