Some weeks ago I had offered the site of < http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/culture/new/cul_ballinstadt_1_2005.html > which described a future Hamburg Museum, the "BallinStadt". That information had been offered online by the German Information Center, an agency of the German Embassy in Washington, D.C. through a weekly newsletter entitled, "This Week in Germany". A more recent of these weekly newsletters included additional sites which may be of interest to we who are searching our Germanic ancestors. < http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/info/publications/week/2005/050520/misc2.html > offers an article, "1800s emigration era comes alive in documentary". An article "Celebrating German Heritage in America Today" is at < http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/culture/ger_americans/ger_americans.html >. < http://www.dah-bremerhaven.de/english/hauptseite.html > covers the German Emigration Center Bremerhaven. Depending on your browser, in order to see this entire page and its links, you may need to right click your mouse and then click on "Show All". I should add that if any of you wish to subscribe to that weekly newsletter (and it includes much more than the links which I have included for this List), the e-mail address for a subscription is: < [email protected] > with the home page of the German Information Center at < http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/info/missions/gic.html >. djweber [email protected]

Hi, a website of possible interest is the webpage of "Der Kanadier": http://www.derkanadier.de/ with some pictures (and movies) especially from the Lahr area. - Wendelin

Another site from the German Embassy group of newsletters which could interest family genealogists .... < http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/culture/ger_americans/paper.html >. This site is titled "Waves of German Immigrants Embrace America" with short sections on "German ancestry prevalent in the US", "Why they left", "Where they settled, what they did" along with various other related paragraphs. djweber [email protected]
