| Details: | Map Guide to Swiss Parish Registers - Vol. 5 - Canton of Aargau - Hardbound; by Kevan M. Hansen; 2017; 197 pp; 8.5x11; hard cover; perfect bound; ISBN: 978-1-62859-164-4; Item #: FR0675Hard Note - This volume is also available in a softbound edition. Click on the link to go to that page. The Map Guide to Swiss Parish Registers series is an out-growth of the very popular Map Guide to German Parish Registers project, which is still in process, but nearing completion.

We did that with the publication of Map Guide to Luxembourg Parish Registers in 2016. There are 26 current cantons in Switzerland. Historic Bern is covered in the first two volumes of this series, and makes up two of those 26, as the current Canton of Jura is in historic Bern Canton. Volume three covers Canton Zürich. Volume 4 deals with Canton Fribourg. Volume 5 (this volume) covers Canton Aargau. Switzerland has 26 Cantons. Many of them are small, so we plan to publish guides to multiple cantons in a number of the books. For this reason, we expect the entire series to be under 20 volumes. Unlike American genealogical research, where the place to search is usually a civil registration (city, county, and state), European research is usually related to an ecclesiastical jurisdiction. In 18th and 19th century Switzerland, one must search the parish registers for births, christenings, marriages, deaths and burials. The historic boundaries for the Swiss cantons and amtsbezirke are quite well defined, and this volume lays them out in map form. Listings are given for both Catholic and Protestant parishes, along with what records are available and where to access them. Contact information, and the municipalities covered by each parish is found, making your Swiss research much easier to accomplish. Each of the Map Guide to Swiss Parish Registers does the following:
