Collected genealogies are sometimes available in Württemberg and are called Ortsippenbücher [village lineage books]. When available at the Family History Library, they are listed under the topic of "Genealogy". To find an Ortsippenbuch (OSB) for your village in the Family History Library Catalog, you would search by the name of the parish where your ancestors attended church. Not all locations have an OSB. Many OSBs can be found online as well. They are also called Ortsfamilienbücher or OFB for short. | Collected genealogies are sometimes available in Württemberg and are called Ortsippenbücher [village lineage books].

These are wonderful sources which link many generations of families together. However, when church books are available, you should double check to make sure that all the information in the books is correctly listed. Some mistakes may occur in the OSBs and it is always a good idea to verify information when you can. | These are wonderful sources which link many generations of families together.

There are many Württemberg genealogies that have been put together in various sources. One of these sources are the Deutsches Geschlechterbücher. You can determine if your village has been compiled by first checking the Family History Library Catalog for your town and then checking for the topic "Genealogy-Collected Works". The Deutsches Geschlechterbücher contain many genealogies and are arranged by generation and often span many generations. Occasionally old portraits and copies of some documents and coats of arms may also be included in this source. | |||

Generally speaking these books cover years as early as the beginnnig of church books between 1550-on. This can be a great record if others are not available in filmed version or to make research easier to do. | Generally speaking these books cover years as early as the beginnnig of church books between 1550-on.

The Family History Library Catalog also shows that there is a cumulative index for this very large collection of materials. This index is on CD and is available at the Salt Lake City Family History Library. This CD gives the surnames and the volume number where they can be found. Because this is a German publication, it is of course, in the German language. | The Family History Library Catalog also shows that there is a cumulative index for this very large collection of materials.
