Good evening. Can anyone please explain to me a little about Mosaik:

https://genealogentag.dagv.org/de/ueber-uns.html

I am located in the USA and trying to understand. I have mostly evangelical and some catholic ancestors (St Maria Himmelfahrt) in my Kleve family line. I obtained a lot of information from Family Search catalogs and some from Archion (Wesel) but I still have missing pieces.

Does Mosaik offer online records? Is it something I would have to join or purchase? Or is it only offices that a person would have to visit?

Thank you for any help in this matter.

Kind regards,

Ellen

Dear Ellen, the last guess is true.

They have a lot of copies from the Duisburg archive and others, for older people that would not take a journey to the archives themselves.

Here you can see what they have:

If you ask kindly, they may look something up for you.

Regarding Kleve, unfortunately most church books and civil registration were burned in the last war. So apart from the data you see in Family Search, there might not be much left.

They had four protestant parishes in Kleve: Lutheran, reformed, Mennonite and french reformed.

Thank you, Andre. The list is very helpful and there appears to be helpful information for me. I do not see an email address. Is there any email contact information?

Thank you and regards,

Ellen
