In May of 1839, a census was conducted in Germany that required the head of each household to fill out an Ergänzungskarte, or a card that indicated the Jewish background of each of the resident's four grandparents. Microfilm copies of the German Minority Census of 1939 are available at the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City, the Leo Baeck Institute in New York and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. Copies can also be found in Germany and Israel. The database includes those who had at least one Jewish grandparents.
