Ahnenforschung in Deutschland

The Ahnenpaß (literally, "ancestor passport") documented the Aryan lineage of citizens of Nazi Germany. It was one of the forms of the so-called "Aryan certificate".

A family register (also known as any of several variations, such as household Register or family album) is a civil registry used in Germany to track information of a genealogical or legal interest.

This includes historical identification papers, like identity cards, passports, driver licenses, certificates of family origin, time books and military service books.

Phone books, adress books, musterrolls, transcriptions of church registers and public registers.

Family trees and ancestral lines, official and clerical documents (certificates of birth, baptism, marriage and death), testimonials, pictures, crests and genealogical and biographical notes.

In summer 2017 we purchased an entire package of old documents. This collection contains various certificates about births, marriages and deaths. It appears that Herbert Horst Pflugbeil (born 12/20/1906 in Chemnitz-Ebersdorf, Saxony) in the year 1937 did start his family research. We have digitized these documents. Currently you can download 113 high-quality scans, a gedfile and an ebook for free.

Pictures and transcriptions of gravestones, historic burial grounds and cemeteries, place and church documentations.
