Dear Subscribers,

A new person to genealogy, named Tonnie, and I have exchanged notes for the
past few days on the Rowan Co. NC list.

I have given her some links to help her understand the history and genealogy
of some of her colonial Virginia folks of German descent--those of Germanna
Colonies in Northern Virginia beginning in 1714.

I referred her to this website, which I have just now reviewed myself:

(http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/index.html)

Although the thrust is mainly toward early German immigrants to colonial and
later northern Virginia, there are some links which pertain to any American
who has early German ancestry [and even us later immigrant descendants, say,
from Baden about the time of the Civil War].

The red flashing arrows on the main web page will direct you to some
historical facts which you should have in mind as you search your German ancestors
in other colonies or states. Some genealogical lecturers state that as many
as one-third of us Americans have some German ancestry!!!

Please direct this info to others who you think may be interested.

Here is an address for your bookmark area. the explanation about the
Palatinate area is of particular interest:
