== What is in This Collection?  ==
== What is in This Collection?  ==
This Collection will include records from 1460 to 1952.
Some bleed-through of the ink may be found on pages of this collection, which may make reading the records difficult.
This collection includes city directories (various directories from 1865 to 1952) and compiled genealogies for the Schaffhausen area. The three compiled genealogies are especially valuable; they compile vital information (names, dates, and places) for Schaffhausen families and arrange this data by surname. Persons seeking information about a particular ancestor can look up the ancestor by surname and will likely add multiple generations to their pedigree.
