After months of intense research and production, Volume 56 of the Map Guide to German Parish Registers series is now shipping. The volume is very different from most of the German Map Guides, in that totally different techniques must be used to find your family in the big cities of Germany.
Published by Family Roots Publishing Company, Volume 56 of the German Map Guide series was published in August of 2016. This volume is made up of the Free City of Hamburg, which includes 184 historic stadtteile, or city sections, found in Hamburg. Information on the nearby port city of Cuxhaven is also included. Written in English by Kevan Hansen, this volume was principally written to help family historians resolve where their family may have gone to church – and left vital records behind that may be seen today. This is the fifty-sixth of a series covering all of Germany. These places are as of about 1870 to 1900. If the city section existed prior to that date, it will most likely be listed. If the city section was named well after after those dates, the chances drop. The Free City of Hamburg Map Guide is different than the others, in that totally different techniques are needed to locate in which church your ancestors may have worshipped when doing “big city” research.
The final volumes of the Map Guide to German Parish Registers series (Vol. 56 on) will all deal with the large and free cities of the German Empire. The “cities” books will be published as time permits in 2016 and 2017.
