There are a lot of Germans who do great genealogy and have created masterful works and completed amazing projects, but they don't always like to help you with yours, even if the person you are asking is the resident expert in the area or wrote the local Famlienbuch. I have even tried to offer them hundreds of dollars in advance and really don't have much luck with them.
Most recently I have had the author of a book lie to my face saying he didn't write the book.
I hate to believe that they are that much of a pain to work with.... Does anyone have any ideas on how to better approach German people for genealogy help?

All of Tom Pick's Eiffel Germany Survey in a Single Downloadable Query-able File!!!
I am very pleased to say I am finished compiling all of Tom Pick's Eiffel Germany Birth and Death survey into a single query-able file, and you can download it right here!
I cannot imagine how long it took Tom to originally put together his website and obtain all of those records. He will be sorely missed and I only wish he had longer on this earth so he could have done more. He compiled about 550,000 birth records and many thousands of marriage records from over 650 cities in Germany. They weren't perfect and there are some errors, but it's an amazingly valuable resource. His original website with the records in separate city files are here.
The fields in the database are the same as Tom used with explanations are:
MO - Month of birth
DA - Day of Birth
YEAR - Year of Birth
FatherLast - Last name of father
FatherFirst - First name of father
MotherLast - Last name of mother
MotherFirst - First name of mother
Marriage - Marriage date of mother and father(only recorded in one record for each family if he found it)
ChildName - First and middle name of child born on date in MO, DA, and YEAR fields
SpouseName - Spouse of child in ChildName field if found
You can download the single file in csv, xlsx (Excel format), or in Access 2013 database format BELOW!!, just click on the blue box.
