He has also indexed notices from several smaller German-language papers that survive. His indexes are meticulously annotated to give the researcher some idea of the information each notice may contain. After finding an index entry the researcher can view the original newspaper on film at the New York Public Library . In addition to the indexes and instructions for their use, this book contains biographical sketches of the clergymen who performed the marriages, and a special section on the history of the German Reformed Church in New York City from the mid-19th century, revising previous accounts. Most of the marriages published by the Staats-Zeitung were Protestant, but there are death notices for persons from all the religious faiths of the German community.
Many notices also mention persons living outside New York and vicinity.
