Celebrating Ten Years of German Roots
October 2008 is the tenth anniversary of my German Roots: German Genealogy Resources website. It started off with just a handful of pages and now it has, oh I don't know, a whole lot of pages.
I initially started the website as a directory of online resources for German-American genealogy research. Eventually I added some of my own content and articles. And a whole bunch of other genealogy stuff. It was originally put online in October 1998 at home.att.net/~wee-monster
In case you're wondering about the URL, Monster was my dog at the time. She died last year. She was wee :)
The website is now at www.germanroots.com which is easier to remember than the name of my dog, I suppose.
Three other websites were eventually spun off of the German Roots site, when I realized it was getting too big and I wanted to expand it beyond German genealogy. These are:
Online Searchable Death Records Indexes and Obituaries for the USA, which was originally a single webpage on the German Roots website.
Online Military Indexes and Records, also originally a single webpage on the German Roots website.
Genealogy Articles, Tips and Research Guides, which is where I put more general genealogy stuff.
So here's to a very interesting ten years of German Roots. Thanks to all the people who have offered suggestions and comments and constructive criticism. Everyone gets a symbolic cyber German beer! Prost!
