Thanks! Your video was very helpful.
I'm doing some research on my direct ancestor with the last name Fugger. He was from Untereisesheim, Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Do you think that maybe he is a descendent of the rich Fugger family in Germany? Also, do you any sites more specific for Untereisesheim, Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg, Germany?

He may be but you'll have to do more research to prove the connection. Here's a link to all of our German genealogy classes familytreewebinars.com/germany
