The German-Texan Heritage Society offers genealogical assistance to both members and non-members through our volunteer genealogists, workshops, seminars, and Journal queries. Follow this link for our list of genealogical FAQ’s.

German Genealogy Seminars & Workshops

On March 14, 2009, a German Genealogy Seminar was held in Waco, Texas. Click here to see the program. Dates for upcoming seminars and workshops will be posted here.

Journal Queries

Do you have a genealogical question? Send your query to the GTHS Journal’s genealogy editor, Liz Hicks. Liz will research your question and publish her response in our quarterly Journal. GTHS reserves the right to edit queries and they are printed in the Journal as space permits at no charge.

Volunteer Genealogists

We currently have two volunteer genealogists available to offer tools and tips on how to:
* begin your genealogical research
* move beyond dead ends and stumbling blocks in your research
This work is done on a volunteer basis as they have time available.
