| === Family Research in the city archive Hildesheim ===

| |
| The archive has a variety of genealogical sources appropriate for genealogical research.

| '''Civil registration records<br>'''Information gathered by civil authorities started in 1875 in Hildesheim. These records become archival records after a certain time frame and are then stored in the city archive. They are available if one has a reasonable interest in historical or family related issues and time frames. These are:<br>Birth registers older than 110 years<br>Marriage registers older than 80 years<br>Death registers older than 30 years<br>For each year of an event exists a register of names in alphabetical order, however, names then appear in chronological order.
| |
|
| |
| '''City registration records<br>'''The city has registration records from before 1946. These records are freely accessible when 100 years after a person’s birth have passed and after 10 years from a person’s death date. Information will be supplied by the archive.

| '''Church registers<br>'''Up to 1875 individual’s birth, marriage, and death were registered by the church.
