'''Citizens' registers'''
 
For the years 1892-1925 the registration cards for those who died or moved from Hamburg are available. Further cards were destroyed in 1943. For the time frame 1943-1945 an alphabatical register is available as microfilm in the archive. For data after 1945 the state archive can merely give information because of privacy laws.
 
Furthermore a house register is available for 1939-1968, however, privacy laws apply here as well.
