Black Sea German Research - DAI Indexes

 


The DAI indexes deal with records of the Deutsches Ausland- Institut, Stuttgart. (Part I)—Records on 1940 Resettlement—(rolls 264-330); and records of the Deutsches Ausland-Institut, Stuttgart. (Part II)—The General Records—(rolls 331-637). These are microfilmed documents of every kind captured by the Allied Forces from the Nazi regime. The index indicates, in English, the title of each document and how many pages included in the document. The index indicates if the document was anything other than in German, whether it was hand-written script, typed, or printed in newspaper or book format, a photo, or a sketch. The index may indicate the date it was produced. The index gives researchers the opportunity to examine the index to find out if there is anything of interest for family research. If there is, the details of the microfilm is provided so the person can view it personally, or have specific pages copied. The translation of the document would be the responsibility of the researcher.

 

Please take some time to read our DAI Q&A for more information on these films.

 

The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has all of these films. The Germans from Russia Heritage Society (GRHS) has many of the files included in our indexes in their library. You would need visit their library (Bismarck, North Dakota) to view it personally, or call them to have specific pages copied. GRHS does charge a fee for their service, so check with them regarding the cost and the availability of the film.  

 

Below is a list of the DAI indexes that have been translated and available on our website. Other indexes can be found at http://www.odessa3.org/collections/war/dai/.
