Germany, Bavaria, Neumarkt, Miscellaneous City Records, 1453-1973

What is in This Collection?

This collection will include records from Neumarkt, Bavaria from 1453 to 1973 and may include the following record types:

This collection is being published as images become available. Most of the records are handwritten in narrative style and, in later years, in formatted forms. For help reading these records, see Germany Handwriting. City records were created to help civil authorities and for the benefits of its citizens. Most of the records listed in this collection are reliable to a point, depending on the knowledge of the person giving the information and the person that received it. The civil registration (after 1876) and church records are the most often used records for genealogical research. However, if those are not available, the population registers (census) and emigration records are also reliable and great records to search for data that will help find other family members and other records.

Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
