Discovering German Roots in Georgia is a website designed to shed light on the Salzburger, the first German-speaking settlers in the colony of Georgia, who established a fairly prosperous community in New Ebenezer — a settlement lying roughly 35 miles northwest of Savannah.

The Salzburger project consists of a three-day (or four-day) teaching unit that relies fairly heavily on web-based exercises that are housed on a webpage, a wiki, and a couple of webquests. Ancillary materials include three PowerPoint presentations and two QuickTime movies.

This project is being conducted by the Georgia Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of German, with the approval and financial support of the national organization.

The project is still being developed; explore existing resources at http://georgia.aatg.org/germanroots/welcome.html
