Genealogy Resources of the Max Kade Institute

The Institute provides certain essential services to individuals working in the field of German genealogy BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Patrons who wish to use the resources of the Institute on their own are welcome during the operating hours of the Institute. Fees are charged for translations and individual genealogical assistance.

• Gazetteers allow genealogists to determine the present-day location of an immigrant's town or city of origin, for which relevant archive information can then be obtained.
  
  
• Detailed maps from German-speaking areas, including much of Pomerania, are available for use by patrons.
  
  
• Local referral list for translation and transcription services.

A collection of family histories, which have been donated to the Institute, provide a unique resource to genealogists. Elaborate family trees, including those of the Oscar Mayer and the Louis Lotz families, adorn the walls of the Max Kade Institute.
If you have a family history you'd like to donate, please contact us!
