Family books (''Familienbücher, Familienrodel'') and citizens' books (''Bürgerbücher, Bürgerrodel'') were established earliest in canton Zürich and kept by some communities as early as the 1700s. By the 1820s, they were widespread in German protestant areas. They were kept by the local priest to keep track of all citizens (''Bürger'') of the parish regardless of residence. Some parish offices created non-citizen resident (''Beisass, Niedersass'') family books as well.<br> | Family books (''Familienbücher, Familienrodel'') and citizens' books (''Bürgerbücher, Bürgerrodel'') were established earliest in canton Zürich and kept by some communities as early as the 1700s.
