German Genealogy - A Guten Chance Of Finding Lost Relatives

[Ben Preston]

United States is one of the countries in the world with a diverse
culture and many believe that it is the "melting point" of the various
different cultures and races in the world. Here you will see mixed
races and culture. The country has people from all origins like from
America, native America, Irish, Asian, British and German races too.
Today there are over 300 million people who are living in the US.
At present the German Americans would be the biggest self reported
cultural group in America. The census of 2000 reported that there is
approximately 47million German Americans in the US. And so the
possibility of you having a German background is greater. And if it
happens to be true and provided you are interested, you can think
about spending money to hire a genealogist to track your past.
Keep in mind that a chain of events in the world was responsible for
the German people to move to America. It was the time period in-
between 1680 to 1760 when the first American Germans moves to the US.
After that the Germans formed the biggest group of Immigrants in
America. The reason that they moved to the United States was the
Conscription to the army, the deteriorating conditions to own a farm
in their home land and the harassment of religious races.
They primarily choose the United States because of the freedom it
offered them to own their farm lands and to practice any preferred
religion and the absence of military conscription and most of all the
better economy of America drew them towards this country.
Many German Jews, also migrated to America during the times of World
War Two when Adolf Hitler came to the rule and began killing and
persecuting them.
Therefore, it was a series of happening in the world which resulted in
the Germans migrating to America. You will know that you have a German
history if either you or you grand parents have an Aryan surnames.
Tracing you ancestry can be quiet a task to complete. This is the
reason as to why you should hire a genealogist to help you with the
work. For all you know you may end up being related to some famous
Germans like Oskar Schindler who saved millions of people, especially
Jews from the gas chambers of Adolf Hitler. Or you may also be related
to the former president Dwight D Eisenhower or even to Albert
Einstein.
There are many more Germans who are known to have made many
contributions to the society. Actually Elvis Presley himself has a
German origin.
Therefore you can consider the idea of hiring an expert to help you
find your German history if and only if you are willing to find the
lost German relatives of yours or the history of your family .With the
improvement in technology it is very easy to track your German
relatives.
