I don't know where to start finding information on my Volga German family members with the last names of Wiegel, Gorr, and Praeger. They lived in Saratov. My grandfather was Gottfried Wiegel and my grandmother was Maria Elizabeth Gorr. They immigrated to the USA in May, 1912. How and where can I begin to look for their history? I don't know my great grandparents names on either side. 😕

Thank you.

    The German Genealogy group is a great place to start. Here is the link: https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/88-germany-genealogy-research. There are almost 2,000 group members, many that have lots of experience researching their families, speak and read German, and are willing to help. The group is also led by a world-renown professional genealogist, originally from Germany. You might copy your question above, and post it in the group. Best wishes in discovering more about your German family members.
