Practical Information for Genealogists

We are sorry to inform you that there are no church records or family genealogical registers at the Nordelbisches Kirchenarchiv. So we are not able to help you with genealogical data about families in general.

There is no central index of families or names for the territory of our church. All data of persons can only be traced directly from the church records of the local parishes. It is therefore indispensible for efficient genealogical research to know the exact German name of the place of origin of the person concernd.

Written requests should be addressed to the respecting local parish, in most cases the so called "Kirchenbuchämter" (engl. "church record offices").

We need your postal address before we can handle your request. It would make it easier to forward your request to other archives and Kirchenbuchämter which can more sucessfully deal with it. Following are the "Kirchenbuchämter" and their jurisdictions:
