The 135 x 210mm book-like 60-pages document existed long before the Nazis came to power but the concept of recording a family tree was greatly expanded in 1938 in Third Reich Germany. A Stammbuch was given to each couple at the time of their marriage (this is still the case in todays Germany). There were forms to record every birth and death in the family, the entries had to be made and notarized by the municipal Registrar's Office. The document also contained a fold-out "Ahnentafel" (lineage table) and space to enter important religious events such as baptisms and confirmations. At the end of the Stammbuch was a very interesting dictionary of Nazi terms and a list of typical and traditional German names for potential children.
