Citizenship register of Cöpenick 1621-1800

The city of Cöpenick (today part of Berlin- Treptow-Köpenick) was always known as a settlement for craftsmen. Shoemakers and tailors were the foremost professions found here. This is evident when one takes a look at the citizenship list of Cöpenick from 1621 to 1834.

The author Arno Jagster, has published a list of citizens of Cöpenick from 1621 to 1800. During the 17th and 18th century many new citizens came from France and the South West of Germany.
The list appeared in the Archiv für Sippenforschung, 8 Jahrgang, Heft 1 (1931), beginning with page 25. The periodical is available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, International Floor, call number 943 B2as.

The citizenship books of Küstrin 1695-1750

The 15th August 1758 was a black day for the citizens of Küstrin. The Russians pointed their canons on the city and by eventide everything was in ruins. With such destruction one should think that most records were completely destroyed, but this was not so. The city parish only started with church records beginning in 1758 and from the time before, the records of the city administration are a good source to identify citizens and their origins. This work was done by Kurt Meyerding de Ahna and published in Archiv für Sippenforschung 14. Jahrgang, Heft 2 (1937), starting with page 204.

The periodical is available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, call number 943 B2as on the International Floor.
