For genealogical research, German-language newspapers are at least as useful as their English language counterparts. Astonishingly, there are now approximately 2,000 historic German-language newspapers online at numerous public, private, and commercial websites. The combined newspapers (fifty years and older) comprise billions of pages and refer to millions of individuals. Since most of these digitized papers are fully searchable, this guide to the newspapers, indicating newspaper title, place of publication, date range, and website, is a key to a motherlode of information found in German-language papers. Most of the papers cited are from Germany and the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, although there are papers cited here from as far afield as China and Oklahoma.
