It’s been nearly a year since Family Roots Publishing produced a new German Map Guide. We’re now working on big-city volumes and honestly, they are harder to produce than the volumes for rural areas. The author is also spending a lot of time on the Map Guide to Swiss Parish Registers series.
In the last few days, we shipped the all copies of the Map Guide To German Parish Registers Vol. 57 – Cities of Bremen, Lübeck and Kiel, by Kevan Hansen. This volume is made up of three large German cities. They are: Free and Hanseatic City of Bremen, the Free and Hanseatic City of Lübeck and the City of Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Prussia. Included are 128 historic stadtteile, or city sections, found in Bremen and Lübeck (see list below). 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-seventh of a series covering all of Germany. These places are as of about 1870 to 1900. The Cities of Bremen, Lübeck and Kiel 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) all deal with the large and free cities of the German Empire. The cities books will be published as time permits in 2017 through 2018. We expect to produce another 5 books in the series
