“This site here shall be a platform, to make people network for the benefit of our heritage, our children and our country. We want to introduce German culture and bring specifically German-American culture ahead.”

Germerica has links to all 50 states as well as 13 chapters. It is the perfect website to find everything German-American!

The website also features information about the 300th anniversary of Germans arriving in Louisiana and settling in the German Coast area. Check it out here: http://louisiana300.germerika.net/
