The Gordon Herrboldt Family Geneaolgy Collection
These indexes are for a collection of German records of a family genealogy compiled by Gordon Herrboldt that covers a range of surnames and places. These records are at Concordia University Library as part of the GGS collection. They are in a file cabinet next to our Newsletters. There are three sets of folders each with two indexes. The two indexes are used to locate the folder in the file cabinet and a SURNAME index which tells which folder(s) to search.

The folder system is color coded:
