GERMAN GENEALOGICAL DIGEST
P. 0. Box 112054
Salt Lake City, Utah 84147
First Posted: 10 April 2002
Looking out our window in Salt Lake City we can still see Olympic
banners over 100 feet high with pictures of Olympic skaters and
skiers adorning downtown buildings, but these will soon be coming
down. One of the benefits of the Olympics to family history
researchers was the remodeling of the Family History Library
where hundreds of new computers were installed to provide access
to new library and Internet resources. For example, birth and
marriage records from over 300 parishes in the Rhineland have
been indexed. We will bring you up-to-date on these new sources
in an upcoming feature of the Digest.
Excellent articles and translations of older works will appear
this year including "Colonists in Pomerania from the
Palatine", "Germans who worked the Sugar Plantations of
Hawaii", "Misspelled German Place Names", and sources for
Ministers. A history of the Dithmarschen area of
Schleswig-Holstein will be featured, plus funeral sermons & death
notices from Hanover & Saxony, and a continuation of names of
conscripts fleeing military duty extracted from Hamburg
newspapers. Indexes from Bavaria, Hessen, and newly filmed
sources for the Saarland will also be examined.
We have prepared a new series of easy-to-use reference guides to
simplify German research. Schleswig-Holstein: Places,
Surnames and Sources. Vol. 1 Places keyed to Parishes is now
available. To reserve your copy, see order form below. This
guide lists each locality in the former Prussian province of
Schleswig-Holstein & identifies the county (Kreis) and
Parish where Protestant church records can be found.
