Hello MCRs, I have started a new mailing list, GERMAN-LIFE. It is designed for discussions on life in Germany through the ages. This information should help in understanding your ancestors life. Topics for discussion include, but are not limited to, local customs, naming patterns, migration, foods, clothing, weather, city and rural life, housing, professions, emigration, changing borders, books, religion, government, etc. The mailing list is not for personal genealogical posts or queries.
