==Millers from Brandenburg before 1800== | |||
For decades the author Karl Otto collected names of millers in Brandenburg and published his findings in alphabetical order in Archiv für Sippenforschung Heft 35 (1969) 36, 37, 45, 49 and 51 (1973). In the same periodical, Heft 102 (1986) the author Werner Albrecht has added to the list of millers by publishing names from S-Z. <br> The periodical is accessible through FamilySearch, Family History Library, call number 943 B2as<br> | |||
== Diaries of midwives == | |||
With the rise of gynecology, the traditional role of midwifery came under scrutiny. In Germany the first maternity hospital was established in 1779 in Jena. In 1818 the first regulations for midwifery were published. Midwifes were appointed to certain districts for a length of time and came under the observation of the health department. They had to report their activities yearly to the health official, who would determine their salary and their competence. Midwives had to be trained and certified in order to take up their profession. | With the rise of gynecology, the traditional role of midwifery came under scrutiny.
