Good Morning,
The websites of the German Embassy are often
over-looked for valuable information and resources in
tracing your roots.
If you're interested, please review these two URLs:

Are you from other parts of the world? Here is an
extensive listing of the German Embassy located in
other countries outside the U.S.

Note: Personnel who work at the Embassies do not
engage in genealogical research. However their
web-sites provide valuable information to begin your
research.
Best of luck in tracing your roots!
