For more than ten years, Archion has been growing continuously: digitized church books are imported and made available online for research. Now, a new milestone has been reached: 200,000 church books are now available online at Archion.
200,000 church books with over 30 million images is an impressive number. But there is more behind it: every available church book can reveal new traces of your own family history. Sometimes it is a name, a date, a place, or a connection that had remained hidden – and suddenly adds a missing piece to the puzzle.
And the development continues: even after this milestone, new church books are being added on an ongoing basis. The collection is growing step by step – and with it, the chances of finding further traces of your own family history.
200,000 church books mean: more sources, more opportunities, more family history.
