Map Guide To German Parish Registers Vol. 61 – Cities of Breslau and Stettin, by Kevan Hansen; 173 pp; 2020; 8.5x11, Soft bound; ISBN-13: 978-1-62859-263-4; Item # FR0133.

Published by Family Roots Publishing Company, Volume 61 of the German Map Guide series was published in November of 2020. This volume is made up of the two large German cities. They are Breslau and Stettin. Written in English by Kevan Hansen, this volume was principally written to help family historians resolve where their family may have gone to church – and left vital records behind that may be seen today. This is the sixty-first of a series covering all of Germany. These places are as of about 1870 to 1900. The Breslau and Stettin Map Guide is different than the others, in that totally different techniques are needed to locate in which church your ancestors may have worshipped when doing big city research.
