BOOK - Locating Your German Ancestor's Place of Origin [an Australian perspective] By Eric Kopittke Published by Unlock the Past, Australia , 2011 This edition published by Global Genealogy, Milton, 2014
![]() Due to the large number of people emigrating from Germany, many of the current generation are now seeking to find out more about their German heritage. A primary goal when researching people from Germany is to locate the places from which they originated. This is important because specific locations are needed in order to proceed further: to obtain civil or church records of births or baptisms, marriages, and deaths or burials, for example. Unlike the Australian, New Zealand or British situation where births, deaths and marriages were recorded centrally, in Germany they were recorded and stored locally at the local Standesamt (civil registry office). This book guides you through finding various records which will help in locating your ancestor's place of origin. Contents:
