The earliest family registers can be found in the early 1700s in some areas of Switzerland. By the 1820s, these family registers were widespread in German-speaking areas. These registers provide information about each married citizen of the parish, regardless of residence. There may also be a secondary register of residents of the parish who are not citizens. In 1876, the majority of the country kept these records, and they were required by 1928. | The earliest family registers can be found in the early 1700s in some areas of Switzerland.
