German History question...

[Lady's Human]

Germany went into a giant depression post-WW1. (which set the stage for Herr schickelgruber) Between 1870 and WW1 the German economy was fairly good.

I am not sure when she immigrated but my father was born here in 1918 and he was not the oldest, so it would seem that she moved here before World War 1, I need to find links to world history and our family history(for my project...hehe)

That site is very good but it helps if you have some names.

From one of the links on the first page. Ancestry.com is the one you have to pay for, most of the other links go to free information. I have been researching our German ancestors and found a lot of useful information from that site.

The Mormons are really big on genealogy and have this free site: http://www.familysearch.org/

Good luck!
