The Hitts, Otterbachs, Fischbachs, and others were early colonists at Germanna. I am working with Germanna Foundation volunteers to find his descendants. I hope you will join me! We have a Zoom call scheduled for Saturday, June 5 at 11 AM EST.

We are discovering a lot of Germanna family researchers who are suddenly working together on new projects to share and organize information so that it is publicly available.

Thank you, Erica - on our call on May 1, we had three Germans from the Siegerland join us - they are connecting us up with German researchers to find living German cousins of the migrants who came to Germanna beginning in 1714.

Really exciting! To have ancestry that is so well documented here AND from where they left? Extremely special <3
