Different confessions, including Roman Catholic, Reformed (Calvinist), Lutheran, and Jewish communities, maintained their own records. These documents typically include baptism, marriage, and burial entries, providing essential data such as names, dates, and locations. Roman Catholic and Reformed records, often the most extensive, date back to the 16th century, while Lutheran records also hold significant historical value. Jewish records, particularly from the 18th century onward, are crucial for tracing ancestry. Researchers can uncover vital family information, helping to build comprehensive family trees and understand cultural heritage.
