Our German Genealogy group is looking for books in English on the social,
cultural and history of the various German states. Any suggestions??

I've been looking for several years for such books.
The best that I've run across is actually a historical fiction series by Jane Ellen Swan:
The Saxon Chronicle:
The Capitalists
The Heirs
The Millers' Daughters
These novels are based on the author's genealogy. They are fictional, but based on historical facts and how they may have affected her ancestors. They are set in the Kingdom of Hanover with travels
to other parts of Germany and Europe.
Highly recommended read for people of German ancestry.

Check out the OGSA (Ostsfriesen Genealogical Society/America) website for
books on history and culture of Ostfriesland (and Butjadingen, Northern
Germany etc). They have a number of books available.
