de.sci.genealogie

Genealogie im deutschsprachigen Raum (German-language).

The German-language genealogy group: church-book (Kirchenbuch) research, Sütterlin and Kurrent script deciphering, emigration records to the Americas, and archive-access advice across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Posts ran in German; its transcription-help threads preserved skills that family researchers still hunt for.
