After determining who has jurisdiction over the records for the time period you need, write a short request to the proper office. Be careful not to ask for too much when writing to German archives. They can briefly answer questions about the records in their collection, but are often reluctant to do research in these records. You may have more success if you ask for a referral or a list of local researchers you could hire to search the archive's records. See [[German Letter Writing Guide]] for more information about writing letters to Germany. | After determining who has jurisdiction over the records for the time period you need, write a short request to the proper office.
