Familienbuch

A Familienbuch (German:

civil registry upon marriage and contained data on birth, marriage and death

of the couple as well as the birth data of any children stemming for this marriage.

It was introduced from July 1, 1938, same kind like books for birth and death. However, the Familienbuch dates to much earlier. At least to 1920 in Breslau, Germany, for example.

From January 1, 1958, it was modified: Marriage entry was done by the local

civil registry

when the family did a removal.

Since January 1, 2009, Familienbücher have no longer been issued.
