Gottschee: Family Records Research Using the LDS Microfilms

Gottschee: Family Records Research Using the LDS Microfilms

Compiled by Kate Loschke Pruente. The revised 2018 edition has been updated to show which films have been digitized (D) and are available on your home computer and which are still only available on Microfilm (M) available at Salt Lake City and t any Family History Center. The films that were digitized were effective as of November 2018. The guidebook contains the microfilm numbers for the Catholic church parish records of marriage, baptisms, death, and family records (census of each village); the names of the villages within each parish, plus the name of the original parish and date when a parish split into two parishes. Included are tips on how to read the microfilm church records.

These Catholic parish records were first microfilmed by the German National Family Center (Reichs-Sippenamt) in 1941. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS, Mormon Church) made copies of these microfilms from Germany in the 1980s. These microfilms are available through the local LDS Family History Libraries.
