Minert, Ph.D., A.G.; 2018; Soft Cover; 193 pp; 8.5x11; ISBN: 978-1-62859-214-6; Item #: FR0652.Sometime before the completion of Dr. Roger Minert's 2016 book, German Census Records, 1816-1916, he found himself studying one of the best examples of residential registration he had found in four decades of Germanic family history research. The page established for Theresia Baumgärtner, who arrived in Würzburg from München in 1889, is replete with details about her partner and their illegitimate children. Roger began to research the origins of the practice of documenting strangers and foreigners in Germany - finding that the practice was used all over Germany - and goes back for centuries in some areas. Thus this book, German Residential Records For Genealogists: Tracing Your Ancestor From Place to Place in Germany, was conceived.
