The German Genealogy Group is an interest group of the Hamilton County Genealogical Society that often sponsors German genealogical lectures and other programs. Its members have contributed valuable publications, including indexes of German newspaper death & marriage notices and German cemetery tombstone inscriptions. The Family History Center in Norwood, Ohio has developed a sizeable German genealogical microfilm collection of German church and other records from materials that have been filmed by the Mormon Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. This enables researchers to do a good portion of their research on their German family lines right here in Cincinnati.
