political map of Germany

- "My Ancestor Came From Germany, That's All I Know" --
with highlights on research in Saxony and Thuringia

- Research in Germany, with emphasis on primary records,
answering the questions, "What kind of records should I search?" and
"Where are the records found?"

- Utilizing the speaker's own extensive emigration
database, with emphasis on Baden and Wurttemberg, but including many
other German areas as well
