Research Assistance
GGS supports the process of research through in-person educational programs, events and conferences, webinars, monthly E-News articles, the GGS Journal, membership in the International Germanic Genealogy Partnership (IGGP), and the resources on this website.
In addition, GGS Member Benefits include a one-time, one hour of research assistance at no cost. This assistance can be initiated by writing to
research@ggsmn.org. Include as much information as possible. Use the
Research Request Form in the Members Area for types of information that would assist us in assisting you. Assistance to non-members is not possible due to the limits of volunteer power.
Assistance to members beyond this one hour will be accompanied by a request for a donation to the Society. The suggested rate is $20 per hour. See our Store to make a research assistance donation. At Store, choose Research Assistance and use PayPal / credit card to make your donation, or send a check, your request, and a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
GGS Research Assistance Request
