Topic: Using Hansen’s Map Guides To Locate Your Ancestor’s Parish Records

• Hansen’s Map Guides to Parish Registers simplify the process of locating the parish registers containing the records of your ancestors. The Guides contain detailed information about Catholic and Lutheran jurisdictions for locations within the former German Empire (including areas now in Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Denmark, and France), Switzerland and Luxembourg, and also some information about Jewish congregations in those areas. Given your ancestor’s hometown, learn how to identify the most likely parish(es) with the records, then check the online availability of the registers on FamilySearch, Archion and/or Matricula.
