The pursuit of family history demands a step by step approach, beginning with family tradition and papers and passing on to main and then to supplementary record sources. The most successful way to use records is to consult the main sources first, working backwards in time from the most recent to establish a framework which can be filled in from supplementary sources.
The main sources for this purpose are the parish registers of both Churches and later on the civil registers conducted by local authorities. In Rheinland-Pfalz these registers are not centralized in one record office, so at first you have to find out, where the registers you need are kept today. That is the reason why it is absolutely necessary to know the name of the place, where your ancestors were born, the marriages took place or where they died. Without this knowledge it is impossible to start tracing ancestors because there is no general index of names neither in our archives nor in the archives of the Churches. If you don't know the place it may be helpful to put an advertisement in a genealogical magazine e.g. Familienkundliche Nachrichten, c/o Verlag Degener & Co., Postfach 1380, D-91413 Neustadt/Aisch.
Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths was introduced in the region on the left (western) side of the Rhine in 1798 by the French occupation authorities. The Prussians did not change this law in 1815, due to this civil registers exist for the region left of the Rhine since 1798 and for the region on the right side only since 1876, when the civil registration became obligatory in all countries of the German Empire.
These "French" registers are held by the Landeshauptarchiv Koblenz for some communities, but not completely. The regional selection is by accident and usually registers are not available after the midth of the 19th century. Until 1814, as long as the country on the western side of the Rhine was incorporated into the Napoleonic French Empire, civil registers were written in the French language.
There is another type of records containing alphabetic lists of births, marriages and deaths, each file including 10 years of one registration office (Dezennaltabellen), which are available in a wider range than the registers themselves. These lists can be helpful to find out the exact date, if you have only vague informations. But as they only mention the names and dates you cannot realize family connections and to identify a person with an often used surname you have to read the registers themselves. You will find a list of all registers held by the Landeshauptarchiv Koblenz in: Verzeichnis der Bestaende des Landeshauptarchivs Koblenz, Teil 2. Zweite ergaenzte Auflage 1982 (Veroeffentlichungen aus rheinland-pfaelzischen und saarlaendischen Archiven. Kleine Reihe, Heft 5).
Registers which are not available in the Landeshauptarchiv Koblenz can be still in the custody of the local offices of the civil registrar (Standesaemter), which you may contact in that case. The modern civil registers since 1876 are always kept there. Concerning the region on the right side of the Rhine copies of the parish books of the 19th century for some communities are deposited in the Landeshauptarchiv, but more usually the registers remain with the parishes.
Before 1798 you have to use parish registers in any case which mostly have been deposited in the religious archives. Applications should be addressed to Bistumsarchiv Trier (catholic), or to Archivstelle Boppard des Archivs der Evangelischen Kirche im Rheinland (protestant). However, most of the registers of parishes on the right side of the Rhine are still retained by the parish offices (Pfarraemter). You find a list in: A. Krudewig: Neues Verzeichnis der Kirchenbuecher der ehemaligen Rheinprovinz (aus: Veroeffentlichungen der westdeutschen Gesellschaft fuer Familienkunde. Koeln, Neue Folge 11), 1977.
If your ancestors came from the Palatinate (Pfalz) you may contact the Landesarchiv Speyer, the Archiv des Bistums Speyer, and the Protestantisches Landeskirchenarchiv der Pfalz. Applications concerning emigration from Palatinate may be addressed to Institut fuer pfaelzische Geschichte und Volkskunde. The archives for Rheinhessen are Bistumsarchiv Mainz (catholic), and the Zentralarchiv der Evangelischen Kirche in Hessen-Nassau (protestant). Guides to the protestant parish registers of the Palatinate, to the registers of the Archivstelle Boppard and of the diocese Mainz are published as: Veroeffentlichungen des Landesarchivverwaltung Rheinland-Pfalz, Band. 26, 28, 30; W. Eger: Verzeichnis der protestantischen Kirchenbuecher der Pfalz. Verbesserte Neuauflage der Ausgabe von 1960, 1975 (Band 26); Barbara Guenther: Verzeichnis der katholischen Kirchenbuecher und Elenchen der Dioezese Mainz sowie der Elenchen des ehemaligen Erzbistums Mainz. 1977 (Band 28); Heinz Schueler: Verzeichnis der Kirchenbuecher der Archivstelle Koblenz des Archivs der Evangelischen Kirche im Rheinland. 2. verbesserte und erweiterte Auflage 1977 (Band 30).
If your ancestors did not migrate from a place in Rheinland-Pfalz we recommend to write to the main governmental archives of the federal states (see the list of addresses below) or to a regional or local genealogical association. Addresses of these associations you are told by the Deutsche Zentralstelle fuer Genealogie (German Central Office for Genealogy).
