Substantially larger than previous editions, this sixth edition of the Address Book for Germanic Genealogy brings many addresses up to date and adds numerous others, especially municipal archive addresses and the addresses of local European historical and genealogical societies. It is indispensable for genealogical researchers with interests in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and other German-speaking areas of central and western Europe.

Beginning with an exhaustive list of addresses in America, followed by an itemization of German and German-area addresses, this new edition of the Address Book for Germanic Genealogy refers to nearly 2,000 genealogical and related societies, state and municipal archives, religious organizations, booksellers or importers, foreign information offices, newspapers, religious archives, and professional genealogists in North America, Germany, and elsewhere in the Germanic world.
