I just uploaded the 2nd edition of the Ortsfamilienbuch Wasserliesch,
which includes lots of new introductory material and a clearer format
for the entries. It is available as a PDF download for less than $5 US.
For several years, I've been transcribing the Ortsfamilienbuch into a PDF with linked entries. This includes all families documented
in the parish registers from 1752 to 1899, plus supplementary
information from the civil records.
The original
Ortsfamilienbuch was prepared by Peter Kohns and completed around 1985.
I've sought to maintain his information faithfully. He performed a
valuable service to all researchers, and his work is much more
conscientious than others who have prepared similar documents for other
German towns.
My first work has focused on transcribing
the full entries for my direct ancestors and the extended families that
were formed by the siblings of my ancestors. The publication linked
here is that state of the transcription.
I'm currently
expanding the introductory material and also expanding the transcription
to include the husband, wife, and children of each marriage listed in
the original document. Unfortunately, I have not included much more than
their names. I don't have a guess on when the expanded transcription
will be available.
Please leave a comment if you would
like to see a specific family in the next edition. (I moderate all
comments, so am guaranteed to see what you need.)
