Renters and others who did not own their homes may not be included in such a compilation. A few house books have also been published on the Internet. | *"Häuserbűcher," or house books, are a variation on town genealogies.

Over 620 online town genealogies are currently accessible at [http://www.online-ofb.de/ '''Online Ortsfamilienbücher''']. They follow a standard format. Books published on other websites often have very different formats, so the reader needs to study each individual publication. Usually, minimal knowledge of German is required.
