Our goal is to provide fellowship, education and support
in our research about the history and genealogy
in regions where the German language and culture was or is prevalent.

The Southwest Florida Germanic Genealogy Research Group was launched by a few local genealogy friends who were doing Germanic research. We knew of small German study groups in the various genealogy societies in southwest Florida, but in the area overall, there was little or no interaction between these groups to foster learning from each other.

Operating Year:  2009 - 2010
