I used these a few years back. Some are in the old script and very hard to read but I found my ancestors name in there. I am hoping to use them again soon. Shirley Riemer, our speaker, at the German Interest Group meeting in Whitewater last Saturday remarked about them. With all the information available and a few pages of script, it is possible to get through quite a few of the books there. Good luck, Donna > Has anyone used the Deutsche Geschlecterbucher? > > I understand they are in German, but figure even I can > read the surname. > > I believe these are in Madison at the Memorial Library.
