Public Notary Files of St. Wendel County, St. Wendel, Germany

 

In Germany the public notary has much more tasks than in the United States. He?s not just a witness but much more a negotiator, at least the neutral person between two parties who want to make a contract. There are several contracts which need to be made through a public notary like selling or purchasing property. In our area (Saar Region) public notary system was re-newed by Napoleon?s laws around 1800. The notaries were responsible to their clients as well as to the government, thus their files are kept and given to their successors and finally to our national archives (Landesarchiv). There they are stored and wait for everyone interested in them.

 

You can find a lot of interesting material in this files. Sells and purchases, last wills, mortgages. People sold their property to get money to emigrate. People wanted to avoid problems for their descendants after their death. What you like.

 

19th Century Public Notary Files were handwritten which may be a problem in studying them. Handwriting of the notary may be great, most of it is poor. Very hard to read.

 

I?ve been studying the files of St. Wendel?s notaries of 19th and early 20th century for 15 years now and got together a huge collection of data. In case you ancestors came from this part of Germany, I may have the contract when they sold their house and property to get money to emigrate to the States.

 

These are the names I found in the files of public notary Hen from St. Wendel just in 1845.

My job:

I can send summaries, get xeroxes (sometimes digitals) of the originals, transcribe and translate the documents for you. That?s time-consuming but it may be worth every penny.

 

The years range from 1798 until 1940 ? I?ve worked them through until 1924 at present.
