Post subject: Is there a German forum equivalent of this forum?
or of Geneteka? I have lots of German DNA cousins who've presumably intermarried with some of my Polish ones but I can't connect them unless I can build some 'German' trees and find the link.

Hi,
The question is where in Germany would you seek information. Are you talking about today's Germany? Or Polish areas that were once under German occupation?

Both possibly! My closest paternal DNA match lives in Berlin. Her father was Mario Andre' Haase b 5th November 1947 d 8 May 1995 but that's about all she knows about him except she thinks he came from Heidelberg originally. I was hoping to be able to build a tree for him and find a marriage somewhere down the line to a Polish connection.

Hi Stewart and Barb,
You can always go to the Message Boards on the Ancestry website. You can search there by surname or by country, city or whatever key word comes to mind:
https://www.ancestry.com/boards/search/surname
Here is the direct link to messages about the surname Haase:
https://www.ancestry.com/boards/surnames.haase
Note there are also messages about the surname Haas and Haass.
If I may offer an opinion, it is possible that a person who says their father was born in 1947 but who does not know for sure where he was born, is probably a person who is not in the mood to share the information that they know.
There used to be very good genealogy discussions on GenForum, but after it was sold to genealogy.com about 10 years ago it ceased to be a forum. You can still go and read the questions and replies that are there, but you cannot actively engage in the conversations the way you once could. Many of the knowledgeable people who participated there have since migrated to either the Ancestry message boards or, in the case of Polish questions, here to the Polish Origins forum.
Good luck in your search,
Sophia

Thanks for your interest Diane but his dates are all I know about him, there is no tree for his own ancestry only for the family he married into
