Church book mapping
The church book mapping is the recording of information from church books in alphabetically arranged files.
Methods
Under Kirchenbuchverkartung in the proper and strict sense means the creation of family leaves, that is, the family reconstitution or family as Verkartung in which each set of parents gets its own card on which his children and the parents on both sides (or grandparents of children) appear with.
When Kirchenbuchverzettelung however, are baptismal , marriage books and books of the dead separately on individual index cards registered. These index cards are then sorted alphabetically and within the alphabet by family.
Computer-aided mapping
Today the parish register mapping is done with the computer. Numerous genealogy programs are available for family-wise mapping . In addition to the use of a mapping program, there is also the option of using database-oriented programs (e.g. spreadsheets ) for the parish register. In addition to the problem of choosing a method, there is now also the problem of choosing a program. The Verein für Computergenealogie tries to provide help on this in its wiki.
meaning

Other sources
In addition to the church book source , other genealogically relevant sources are now available. For some regions in Germany, these are the civil status registers that have existed since 1798 . With the change in the Civil Status Act , there will also be revisions to the released civil status books in the future .
