Series IV: Genealogical Research

The Charles P. Stanton Collection contains the results of 50 years of genealogical research. The bulk of the collection, Series V, consists of more than 2,000 family trees, correspondence, and related materials to over 300 Jewish families from the areas of Nuremberg, Fuerth, Bamberg, Ansbach and Dinkelsbuehl. Some families also had branches at Ichenhausen and Laupheim in Swabia. Many of the folders in this series contain a "Master Family Tree" compiled by Stanton. He would often send out copies of these master family trees to interested researchers. The represent the final version of his research on a particular family. The folders, which do not have a master family tree, usually contain smaller versions of family trees, either compiled by the families themselves or by Stanton. Almost all folders also contain research material and correspondence, which hold additional genealogical information. Notes and drafts for the master family trees can be found in Series IV. Also included in this collection are notes on several towns and cities in Franconia, located in Series III

More general research notes and materials such as maps, old indexes, addresses, obituaries and well preserved banknotes from Theresienstadt, can be found in Series II

The collection only contains a few personal items related to Charles P. Stanton. Series I includes documents about his military service and general correspondence mainly dating from the 1990s
