===Church Record Inventories=== | ===Church Record Inventories=== | ||
See the article [[Germany Church Record Inventories|'''Church Record Inventories''']] for information about inventories for specific parts of Germany. | |||
Church record inventories are essential tools for finding German records. They identify what records should be available for a specified parish and where to write for information on these records. They list the church records, their location, and the years they cover. Sometimes inventories explain which parishes served which towns at different periods of time. | Church record inventories are essential tools for finding German records.
