AbstractCross-disciplinary by nature, the study of German immigrants in North America defies us to coin a definition with any exact precision. It concerns the causes and the process of emigration. It involves therefore much study of geography, history, linguistics, politics, sociology, religion etc. and of course family history and genealogy. However it should exclude from consideration many topics that have crept into the field for lack of a proper definition.
