The Deutsche Zentralstelle für Genealogie in Leipzig has collected family
histories of Germanic and Central European people since 1922. Their
primary collection consists of "Ahnentafeln" or pedigree charts,
family group sheets and family history manuscripts. The collection also
contains a card index of 2.7 million names.
These records have been microfilmed by the
Family History Library. The collection is organized phonetically. This
makes the collection of 1,200 rolls difficult to use without a register.
Mr. Edlund has compiled a register for the films which lists the grouping
by surname, including spelling variations.
The 140 page "Register" is a
detailed directory of the microfilms, but is NOT an every name index
(which would take thousands of pages). It contains an introduction to and
explanation of the Ahnenstammkartei and an index to the microfilms. This
register will ensure that you order the correct microfilm for each surname
you are researching.
A valuable finding aid for all German
research facilities. Paper-bound, 140 pages, perfect binding, 1995.
