Archion record - land v stadt

MHendersona2

Hi!

I'm looking for an 1824 baptism and the record heading in Archion is:

Taufen 1821-1835 (Stadt),Taufen 1821-1835 (Land) Band 6

What does Land mean versus Stadt, please?

Thank you!

Stadt = city.

Land = region, province, state, country (i.e., the area outside of the city).

Band 6 = volume 6.

It's probable that the records in volume 6 are grouped by "Stadt" and by "Land".

Thank you for your explanation, Robert!

You're welcome, @MHendersona2.

Stadt means in the town that the church is in.

Land means in one of the surrounding towns/communities that also use the church. Often the community name is included in the record.
