Cake Ideas For My Moms Birthday

church book virtually - the future has begun

Browse in dusty tomes, by old bundles dig reverently touch the already fragile pages, smell the smell of centuries-old paper - Genealogy can be with all senses feel.

something is sterile church book therefore virtually instead are leather-bound books are bits and bytes. With uncanny diligence have it, the authors of this page aims to church records and other genealogical sources of the ecclesiastical district of Bayreuth eizuscannen, evaluate and auzubereiten in digital form. Since the church district adjacent to the Saxon Vogtland, I will gladly report on it.

So far over 17,000 people in the database had been treated, more than 80 books are available as scans and some family books were taken.


The project I have pursued a long time, but am only now again met by chance on it. In search of "my Gunz" google led me to the database to the Bayreuth church records. There appears: Niclaus Rudhardt , prospective citizens and bakers to mountain pastures, son of the late Paul Rudhardt, judges Gunze in Vogtland, a village belonging to the little town Adorf. Nicolaus - as on 6 June 1626 recorded at his baptism in the church records of Schöneck is - married on 14 January 1656 in Bayreuth (the marriage is not recorded in church records Schöneck) the Hofschneiderstochter Helena Engelmann. Who would have thought it ...?!
