FRPC is discounting the entire soft-cover series of the Map Guide to German Parish Registers by 25% – making them just $26.21 each – through Oct 18, 2021. This is the lowest sale price on this series that we’ve ever offered. This sale is for orders placed at the Family Roots Publishing website only.
Note that the PDF eBooks are also on sale through October 18. See: https://www.genealogyblog.com/?p=44156
The entire series will be 70 volumes, with the last five still in the research phase.
Written in English by Kevan Hansen, the volumes were 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. The series is still in production. In many cases, even the smallest places are listed in this series – some with as little population as one person! These places are as of about 1870. If the place existed prior to that date, it will most likely be listed. If the place was named after that date, the chances drop.
The online description of each book includes an index listing every town found in that book. To search across the entire database for any particular German town, Click here, enter the name of the town in the Search Box, click on “Description Only,” and then click Search. Note that many town names can be found in multiple books, as there are often multiple towns by any particular name.
If you know the name of your town, but do not know where it might be in Germany, you may use the search engine at the FRPC website to locate which book it might be found in. The Product Search box is found in the upper left-hand corner. Don’t use the “Advanced Search,” just use the Product Search box on the home page. Enter the name of the town, and click on GO. Some town names are found in more than one place in Germany – and will be listed in multiple books – so knowing the German State of origin is helpful.
