The working group (ArGeWe) is a loose connection of researchers without firm associative structures.

In fall of 1999 a number of researchers decided to establish this work shop, due to personal contacts that resulted from the search for ancestors from the Westerwald region.Our goal is avoiding double research and collecting already existing data. We would like to present these data on this web-site and encourage other researchers to join us. ArGeWe does not just consider its internet-pages to be a data pool. We would also like to present interesting information and curiosities concerning the Westerwald region. Therefore anyone, who does research in the Westerwald region is invited to join ArGeWe.
