Step-by-step Guides for Germany[edit | edit source]
2 Gazetteers remaining as of 6 Dec 2010[edit | edit source]
Meyer's Gazetteer and Wuertemburg Gazetteer (both in PDF's on Wilma's home computer.)
Everyone of these articles were imported into the Wiki when the Wiki was first implemented. Since then every article has was either deleted or edited beyond recognition by members of the Wiki community. As an example, see Schleswig-Holstein, Birth, Marriage, and Death Record Strategies. The step-by-step guides for German research that are listed here should be added back into the Wiki. Note that many of the titles for these articles in FamilySearch include diacritics, especially in the place names. When adding these guides to the Wiki, DO NOT use diacritics in the title of the articles.
