If your ancestors were Lutheran, Reformed, or Evangelical, ARCHION.de is where you'll find their baptisms, marriages, and burials—some stretching back to the 1500s. It's Germany's largest portal for Protestant church records.

The challenge? It's a German website with a German interface, and even with the English toggle, navigating it can feel overwhelming.

This 98-page guide walks you through ARCHION step by step, with annotated screenshots showing exactly where to click. You'll learn how to find your ancestor's parish, choose the right subscription, search and download records, and tap into user-generated indexes most researchers miss.

Includes: PDF guide (98 pages) and bonus "Your First Hour on ARCHION" quick-start checklist.

Ideal for: Researchers with German Protestant ancestors.
