A fond may have more than one opis. These sometimes reflect different types of material or blocks of material accession by the archives. The decision as to what to include in an opis is in the hands of the archival cataloger, and will vary significantly from archive to archive. | A fond may have more than one opis.

== '''Special German Archives''' == | |||
Researchers who identify the German, French, Swiss, or Austrian town of origin of their German-speaking ancestors who settled in Russia can find information about significant archives and how to contact them in the “[[Archives and Libraries Germany|Archives and Libraries]]” section of the Germany Wiki. Four German archives in particular are important for researching Germans from Russia: | |||
'''''German Center for Genealogy''''' [''Zentralstelle für Genealogie''] was founded as an archive for genealogical materials. It has an extensive collection of German church records from Poland, Russia, Lithuania, and other east European German-speaking settlements. The Family History Library has microfilms of these records, but if you need more information, you can contact the center. For a fee, employees of the center will try to find genealogical sources. But as a general rule, research must be done in Leipzig by the researcher. The address is: | |||
Deutsche Zentralstelle für Genealogie<br> Postfach 274<br> D-04002 Leipzig<br> GERMANY | |||
German Foreign Institute [Deutsches Ausland-Institut (Stuttgart)] between 1917 and 1945 created a parish register inventory, genealogies, biographies, and a dozen alphabetical index card files listing names of Germans from Russia, their settlements, and showing many of their places of origin. In 1987 this collection became part of the Federal Archive [Bundesarchiv] in Koblenz. The Family History Library has microfilms of these card files. They are described in the Author/Title Search of the Family History Library Catalog under Deutsches Ausland-Institut (Stuttgart). Many are also cited in the appropriate sections of this outline. The archival material from this collection is now at: | |||
Bundesarchiv Potsdamer Str. 1 D-70173 Koblenz GERMANY | |||
A sixteen page inventory of this collection is: | |||
Deutsches Ausland-Institut (Stuttgart). Karteienverzeichnis: 1750-1945 (Card Index Inventory, 1750-1945). Salt Lake City: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1988. (FHL film 1340061 item 3; computer number 516676). <!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --> | |||
