The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) - Family History Centers
Note: The Family History Library in Salt Lake City holds microfilm copies of many important genealogical records, the originals of which are held by German churches, archives, and libraries. The great majority of these microfilm copies can be borrowed for a modest fee through any local LDS (Mormon) Family History Center. (Owners of certain church--and, in one case, emigration--records have refused permission to the Family History Library to distribute microfilm copies of these records to Family History Centers in Germany; however, all microfilmed German records are accessible through Family History Centers outside Germany.) Before contacting an archive or library, researchers with access to a Family History Center should check whether the records they seek are available on microfilm from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
