Good evening everybody,
I am currently helping my German wife with her family history but I must confess being unfamiliar with what's available and where to find records. Most of her family is from Sachsen-Anhalt. I have had access to church records with the Mormons but I actually don't know if there anything like official population records kept by the state/city/province (similar to the Franco-Belgian system after the French Revolution)? I am particularly interested in the following places:
Droyssig (Droyßig)
Groitzsch
Osterfeld
I currently have found ancestors up to the middle of the 19th century. I can give more details about her ancestors if anybody is familiar/willing to help.
Many thanks in advance from a slightly puzzled genealogist stepping for the first time in German genealogy territory
