Original Documents and Other Resources

Tracing Four Centuries of Hasselbachers

This is the document prepared by the late Fritz Hasselbacher of Germany that has been so useful for so many of us.  It summarizes the family relationships of the earliest Hasselbachers in Franconia. Copies of the document in German, some appendix material, and a partial translation are provided.

Franconian (German) Church Records

Extraordinary transcriptions of many old church records from Franconia and Gresten. Records are transposed from the old German script to modern German type and organized by person. These represent the definitive resources presently available to the Hasselbacher family. (In preparation.)

These include links to actual images from the LDS microfilms.

I will start to place records from old Family Bibles here.
