An Ortssippenbuch (roughly translated "town family/kinship book") is a village or town book dealing with the residents genealogy. The book may contain several volumes or editions/updates. They cost between 27-260 DM each, are written in German and are arranged alphabetically by family surnames, listing husband, wife and their children. The introduction discusses the history of the town and it's founders and settlers. The genealogical data generally includes each family member's birth date and place, marriage date and place and death date and place. The information in the book may trace a particular family back from the present to the late 1600s. In some cases, the ancestor's origin in Germany, Alsace or Lorraine is noted. The Familienbuch (family book) is very similar to the Ortssippenbuch. The author uses information from civil, church records and family histories supplied by fellow genealogists to compose the book. As in any secondary source there are occasional errors. Therefore, one should verify the information by checking the original records if possible. Most of the Roman Catholic Church records from 1826-1896 are available on microfilm from the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (LDS), Family History Center and are listed by town name. Keep in mine many of the original German town names had been changed to Hungarian names and then to Serbian names. There are several references available that can be used to determine the various names used over time for a particular town. Vital records from 1897-1919 can be obtained from the Archdiocese of Kalocsa, Kalocsa-Kecskemet, Erseki Hatosag, Szentharomsag ter 1, Postfach 29 Kalocsa H-6301, Hungary. Unfortunately, there is not an Ortssippenbuch for each town in the Donauschwaben areas of Hungary, Yugoslavia and Romania. However, the list grows each year as individuals compose these works in order to preserve a town's family history and genealogy. Many of the Donauschwaben Ortssippenbuch are marketed by the author through the Arbeitskreis donauschwäbischer Familienforscher (AkdFF) [The Working Group of Danube-Swabian Genealogists]. Their library is located at, AkdFF-Bibliothek, Goldmühlestr. 30, D-71065 Sindelfingen, Germany. In some cases they are ordered directly from the author. The books may also be available in the United States at the larger public or specialized libraries, including the main LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT, and the New York Public Library.
