I While in Salt Lake the other' day I visited the Genealogical' Society of Utah and talked to the man In charere of research1 j about the conditions In Germany, i He told me that the public rec-i ords of Germany have not been1 j destroyed. When German offic-j ers saw tne danger of their cities being bombed they removed valuable val-uable records to safe places such as mine shafts and caves. There they remained until after the I war. Probably some of them are still In hiding. I It would be too much to expect ex-pect that none of the genealogical genealog-ical records were damaged. No ione can tell how many family ; bibles were burned In the bomb-,'ing bomb-,'ing of Berlin. When families were forced to leave their homes for one reason or another thev 4 did not always take their fam ily records. .

If we know a genealogist who lives near the records to be. searched we may be able to send him some iooa or clothing to pay for the search but if he has to travel trav-el to do the searching he will need money. So we may conclude, those who wish to find the records of their German ancestors have no cause to worryr There Tire still records to" be searched in Germany and they are being well cared for. Money conditions and travel conditions wil' both become normal nor-mal in course of time and just now there is Just one thing for us to do: wait.
