In German genealogy records, an '''Ortssippenbuch''' (town lineage book) or '''Ortsfamilienbuch''' (town family book) includes birth, marriage, and death data for all persons found in the local records during a specified time period, compiled into families. Sources may include the local parish registers, civil registration records, court and land records, and sometimes published material. In the printed book, this information is then arranged in a standardized format, usually alphabetically by surname and chronologically by marriage date. Family entries are identified by sequential numbers. Town genealogies are known by various names, including “town lineage book,” “local heritage book,” “one-place-studies,” “Ortssippenbuch (OSB),” and “Ortsfamilienbuch (OFB).” <br> | In German genealogy records, an '''Ortssippenbuch''' (town lineage book) or '''Ortsfamilienbuch''' (town family book) includes birth, marriage, and death data for all persons found in the local records during a specified time period, compiled into families.
