Description
A traditionally widely requested and consulted part of the collection are the baptismal, wedding and burial books, also known as the DTB books. These sources are further known as the retroacts of the civil status, because it concerns registers in which the population administration was kept in the time prior to the introduction of the civil status (1811). This was done by various ecclesiastical authorities.
