Church directories exist for each individual Catholic diocese, but the Family History Library does not have copies of directories for all dioceses. Most of the directories in the library were published before 1960, and some information, such as the priest's name, may be out of date. The addresses and parish histories are usually still valid. | Church directories exist for each individual Catholic diocese, but the Family History Library does not have copies of directories for all dioceses.

''General-Schematismus der katholischen Geistlichkeit Deutschlands (Directory of the Catholic clergy of Germany).'' Passau, Germany: Verlag der Redaktion des General-Schematismus, 1905-1906. Microfilmed in Washington, D.C., USA: Library of Congress Photoduplication Service,1981. (FHL film 1,340,500.) This book is divided into the 25 German dioceses. The parishes within each diocese are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the pastor's name. There is no general index, so you must guess the diocese to find the parish. It does not mention which villages are in a parish. | ''General-Schematismus der katholischen Geistlichkeit Deutschlands (Directory of the Catholic clergy of Germany).''
