Hi Amelia If you need some information from the Staatsarchiv Basel-Stadt just go to their website (unfortunately just in German): http://www.bs.ch/stabs/index.html A small part of what they have you can find at the catalogue of the University Basel: http://www.ub.unibas.ch/indexeng.htm (they are working to put a larger part of their inventory online but it will take some time) If you have a specific question of need some copies you find their mail addresses at: http://www.bs.ch/stabs/main_ueberuns_ansprechpartner.html The Staatsarchiv Basel-Landschaft is at: http://www.baselland.ch/docs/archive/main.htm contacts: http://www.baselland.ch/docs/archive/kontaktp.htm#top There you can find among else information about the archive of the Landvogtei Birseck: http://www.baselland.ch/docs/archive/birseck/birseck1.htm Part of the documents are catalogued electronically and can be searched at the Baselbieter Bibliotheksverbund http://www.baselland.ch/docs/ekd/bibliothek/xx_opac.htm Furthermore you can find family crests http://www.baselland.ch/docs/archive/wappen/main.htm#top and they plan to put on Kirchenbücher as well.
