| Abstract | Understanding the historical background of German parish records can help you focus your search and give the recorded events more meaning. Knowing what to expect in the records can enable you to find and understand all of the information in your ancestors' entries. Topics include: fertility and family size, illegitimacy, utilizing the information, and content of the records (name of child and parents, dates of birth and baptism, place of birth, occupation of father, marital status of parents, witnesses, other information). |
