| === Bürgerbücher in Württemberg [Citizenship Books] ===
| |
|
| |
| Lists of citizens are kept by most of the Oberamt [district] offices in Württemberg. They contain much useful information, including where a person was born. This is most helpful when a person has moved into the village from an unknown location. Because of differences in the local records, information may not be the same in each locality. Most of these books are alphabetical, although some may have indexes.
| |
|
| |
| Some of the information contained in these records includes:
| |
|
| |
| *First and last names
| |
| *Occupation
| |
| *Birthdate
| |
| *Birthplace
| |
| *Marital status, often includes deceased or living spouse
| |
| *The means by which citizenship was granted i.e. marriage
| |
| *Cause for removal i.e. death or moving
| |
| *Street address with house number
