Index to
German Birth Records
1651-1905

On January 16, 2001 I received a file of German birth records from Mr. Glenn Geisheimer. He had submitted it for placement here. Upon opening that file, I discovered it wasn't just a 'file' but a database with 19,382 Bauer, Baur, etc. birth records from Germany dating from 1543 to 1905... parents included. We are very proud to display this database, amounting to nearly 50,000 individuals.

In this particular data you will find 17,726 records dating 1651-1905 ~ those from 1543-1650 are medieval records and are displayed in another area of the Homestead. Because of the size of the database, the records here are split up into 26 files.

The index is set up alphabetically by surname. There are multiple variant spellings, however there are NO BOWER or BOWERS. Every effort was made to keep like first names together, however some names had so many that multiple files were necessary. In those cases, dates are given in the index. Because of this procedure, the files are not the same size.

An explanation of the columns is necessary here as there are no headings. You will see eight columns for each record, their definition given here:

1 - Child's name
2 - Event type. There are two types of records in the database ~ birth and christening.
3 - Year of event
4 - State
5 - District; county
6 - City, town, village
7 - Father
8 - Mother

To make your selection, please click on the blue button in the left column.

WARNING: These files are LARGE and each one may take up to 3 minutes to open, depending on your modem. Download times will be different for each file.
