== What is in This Collection? ==               
This collection includes images of a combination of church family register extractions and indexes for the district of Rhine Hesse-Palatinate (Rheinland Hessen-Pfalz) in Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). Most image sets are arranged chronologically (by year of event) or alphabetically (by surname). 
Family registers may go back to the 1500s, when they began during the time of the Reformation. Because of wars, natural disasters, and accidents, many churches were destroyed, along with all or part of their records. Very few church records go back before 1650 because of the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648). Family registers were created with information from the parish register and should be used as a guide to search the actual church records for the ancestors’ christening, marriage, and burial information. The text in church family registers is written mainly in German. However, earlier text could be handwritten in Latin and after 1945 handwritten in Gothic script. The headings for the extracted information are in English. 
Beginning in the 1500s, churches began keeping family registers. This collection of extracted data was created to make it easier to research ancestors. 
Church records (Kirchenbücher) are excellent sources for accurate information on names, dates, and places of birth, baptism, marriage, death, and burial. They are the most significant source of genealogical information for Germany before 1876. Most people who lived in Germany were recorded in a church record. However, the information found in a family register depends on how detailed the minister made his record. The extraction of data depends on how well the records were read.

== What Can These Records Tell Me? ==
Beginning in the 1500s, churches began keeping family registers. This collection of extracted data was created to make it easier to research ancestors.
The following information may be found in these records:
 
*Person's name
Church records (Kirchenbücher) are excellent sources for accurate information on names, dates, and places of birth, baptism, marriage, death, and burial. They are the most significant source of genealogical information for Germany before 1876. Most people who lived in Germany were recorded in a church record. However, the information found in a family register depends on how detailed the minister made his record. The extraction of data depends on how well the records were read.
*Spouse or Parent's names
 
*Date of birth, marriage, or death

The key genealogical facts found on most family registers include the following:  
| browse_3 = Event type
 
| browse_4 = Name range
*Name of the ancestor, either as a parent or child
| browse_5 = 
*Names of the ancestor’s siblings, parents, grandparents
| browse_6 =  }}
*Date of the ancestor’s birth
=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
*Place of the ancestor’s birth
Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a [[Use_Appropriate_Forms#Prepare_a_Research_Log |research log]].
*Occupation of the ancestor’s father
== What Do I Do Next? ==
*Birth dates of the ancestor’s siblings and parents
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, Now What? ===
*Date of the ancestor’s marriage
*Add any new information to your records             
*Date of the ancestor’s death
*Use the age to find an approximate birth year to begin your search in church or civil records                
*Death dates of the ancestor’s siblings and parents
*Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have moved, been recruited or lived nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify. Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual. This compiled list can help you identify possible relations that can be further verified by researching [https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Germany_Vital_Records_Index_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records) vital records] in the country               
*Information concerning emigration in the family
*When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details such as a title, an occupation, or land ownership. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors

== How to Use the Records  ==
=== I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, What Now? ===
 
*Consult the [[Germany Record Finder]] to find other records
Family registers were created with data from the parish registers and should be used as a guide to search the actual church records for the ancestor’s christening, marriage, and burial information. Data of an ancestor can be searched by surname and place of residence. Make sure the record found is your ancestor; it is recommended to use the elimination system when more than one family has the same family name. After you have found the information for your ancestor, transfer the information onto your family history record. With this information, the data of siblings or other family members could also be researched.<br>
*Switch to a different record collection. Depending on the time period, either German Civil Registration records or German Church records may be more useful                       
 
*While searching, it is helpful to know such information as the ancestor’s given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and age, and family relationships. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as an ancestor and that the ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times               
== Related Websites  ==
*Keep in mind that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name               
 
*Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name while searching the index or browsing through images. Pay special attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try variations on the pronunciation
