Die Gründung der International German Genealogy Partnership entstand aus dem Wunsch heraus, eine Verbindung zwischen genealogischen Organisationen in den Vereinigten Staaten und solchen in deutschsprachigen Gebieten herzustellen. Einige Gespräche im Jahr 2014 führten zu einer Partnerschaft zwischen Organisationen auf mehreren Kontinenten.
