Church records are the main source for family and local history research. Until 1875 they have been of the same value as civil status records. Normally the records of Saxony start in the end of the 16th century. Some early church records have been created a few years after Protestant Reformation in Saxony. Publication of church records in the form of heritage books is only possible with explicit permission of the Saxon Protestant-Lutheran Regional Church.

An overview of already published heritage books is offerd by the Association of Computer-Genealogy (Compgen) and the department Deutsche Zentralstelle für Genealogie (German Central Office for Genealogy) of the Saxon State Archive. However, results of own private research may be stored in the database because the copyright is owned by the presenter.

If you want to provide church record information for completion of existing records in the database, please feel free to contact the respective publisher of the source. Publication is free of charge.
