Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, Kevan Hansen has persisted in his writing, and Family Roots Publishing has continued to produce more parts of the “Map Guide to German Parish Registers” series. Each volume focuses on the major cities of Germany. The research process for these urban areas differs from that of the counties, or ‘bezirks’. Because of my personal health concerns related to Covid, I have been unable to announce any new volumes since the 59th. So, today we’re getting up to speed.
