 *'''FamilySearch Catalog:''' Gradually all the microfilmed records of Germany church records are being digitized.  Because there are so many, they are no longer added to the above list.  Now you find them by searching in the [https://www.familysearch.org/catalog/search '''FamilySearch Catalog'''].  Search by the name of the town.  If you find more than one town of that name or if you need better information about that town, consult [http://www.meyersgaz.com '''the 1871 Meyer's Gazetteer'''].
-=== Records at the Family History Library  ===
-The Family History Library has many German church records on microfilm. Most are from the southwestern states of Germany, including Baden, Westfalen, Rheinland, the Pfalz, Hessen, and Württemberg. The library has fewer church records from the states farther east and north, though this collection continues to grow as new records are microfilmed.
-The Family History Library has mostly pre-1875 church records. Use the catalog to determine whether the library has records for the place your ancestor came from. The library does not have records that were not available in the archive at the time of microfilming, were not microfilmed, or were restricted from public access by the laws of the country.
-On FamilySearch™ at [http://www.familysearch.org/ www.familysearch.org] , search for the name of the town where the parish was located (not necessarily the town where your ancestor lived).
