====State Archives====
Duplicate records from some parishes are in the state archives. Many of these records have been microfilmed and are available at the FamilySearch Library. However, for records that are not microfilmed, you can sometimes write to the state archives to request searches of the duplicates. For more information, see [[Germany Archives and Libraries|Germany Archives and Libraries]].

'''Death Records in the City Archive of Leipzig'''  
 
Since 1595 the death records of the city of Leipzig were not recorded as usual by the Church but were written down by the city council's office. This office issued burial certificates which the gravedigger needed. After the burial the certificate was returned and&nbsp;collected in the so called Leichenbuch. Since 1846 the burial certificates have been arranged alphabetically.
 
The books are located at the City Archive in Leipzig with the following archival registration numbers:
 
'''1.2.1.4 Leichenschreiberei'''
 
1.2.1.4.1 business records
 
1.2.1.4.1.1 city council death record books 1595-1875
 
1.2.1.4.1.2 burial certificates 1846-1875
 
1.2.1.4.1.3 burial books of gravediggers 1690-1879
 
1.2.1.4.1.4 books of the graves at the Johannis cemetery 1680-1875
 
1.2.1.4.1.5 various registers and indexes

State Archives[edit | edit source]

Duplicate records from some parishes are in the state archives. Many of these records have been microfilmed and are available at the FamilySearch Library. However, for records that are not microfilmed, you can sometimes write to the state archives to request searches of the duplicates. For more information, see Germany Archives and Libraries.

  • Pdf Archive Inventory: "Part 1 of 2: Church records in Archives" - is an inventory of localities and the location or archive where their records should be found. The sixth column, "Archives", gives a number. To find the name and contact information, look up that number in the second column of this .pdf: Part 2: Archive Addresses.  It is not clear how up-to-date this inventory is.


Some archives offer searches for a fee. Archives might be unable to handle genealogical requests, but they can determine whether they have specific records you need, sometimes perform very brief research, such as just one record, or they may recommend a researcher who can search the records for you. Archivists are required to speak English.

E-mail[edit | edit source]

  • You can e-mail archives and ask whether they have records for a parish. Also, you should inquire whether they provide research services and what their fees are. You can communicate with the archives in English.
