Dear Researcher and Genealogist,
On my own account:
With today´s online data, approximately 16,8 million entries are now available for the currently 37,000 registered users.
At this point, I would like to thank all individuals, who have furnished GenTeam over the last 7 years with vital information, all those who work on long-term projects, but also all those who work behind the scenes to ensure that GenTeam functions properly and continues to expand.
GenTeam is an European platform through which historians and genealogists, who work independently or as a team on databases, can furnish this data to all researchers. All data at GenTeam is available free of charge. The use of GenTeam also requires no membership fee.
An additional development created parallel to GenTeam is www.GenList.at, a bilingual mailing list which more than 1,700 members.
And now to the Actual update:
1 New: Military Casualty Lists
Austrian-Hungary World War 1
In the Casualty Lists you will find the wounded, prisoners of war, and the fallen from all member countries of the Habsburg Monarchy. In total, there will be approximately 3 to 3,5 million entries. You will find offices, one-year volunteers, and, naturally, the whole gang with all confessions, this, also Jewish, Muslim and Protestant soldiers.
The following excerpts with more than 358.000 entries of a total of over 720 lists are already online on GenTeam now:

You will find the church registers of the Dioceses Passau at www.matricula-online.eu. You will also find a table listing all parishes with updated time frames and important tips under Hilfe/Info (Help/Information).

4 Vienna and Surroundings: Index of Catholic marriages
The index of Catholic marriages of Vienna (1542-1860 including the military), which was drafted many years ago, is now extended until 1938.
Entries from the parishes 03 Landstraße and 09 Votivkirche ware added.
A list of all parishes with updated time frames you will find under Hilfestufe/Help.
Many thanks to Gabi Koller and Jesko Stampa.
5 Vienna: Index of Catholic deaths
Since the list of deaths in the Vienna Newspaper contains vast gaps (even with consideration of Viennese historic borders, as well as the interesting fact that on average approximately 40% entries of deceased children 1-year and under are missing); therefore, we at GenTeam have begun an index of Catholic burials.
New entries were added today of the parish of 01 Maria Rotunda (Dominikaner) and 03 Landstraße.
You will find a table listing all parishes with updated time frames under Hilfestufe/Help.
I would like to thank Monika Fischer and Gabi Koller.
6 Vienna – Coroner´s Inquest Protocols from 1648 onwards
in Vienna, the task of inspecting a corps was assigned to the city coroner. This office was outfitted likely in the wake of the adoption of infection procedures of 1551.
The mortem protocols of the coroner´s office have survived from 1648 to 1920 in the Wiener Stadt- und Landesarchiv (the Vienna Municipal- and Provincial Archive) with minor gaps in the early years (between 1920 to 1938 evidence certificates were published). The database contains names, date of examination, profession, residence, age, sickness, date of birth (since 1804), status (since 1811), religion (since 1841), jurisdiction (since 1867) cemetery (since 1897) and parish of death (since 1900) of each individual. The date of examination does not have to be identical with the day of death. The exception is the notation of the hour of death in the protocol.
To Martha Melchart who already reviewed the years 1648-1655, I would like to express here my gratitude.
7 Vienna: Civil marriages
– additional records 1909-1919
Many thanks to DI Georg Gaugusch, who made this index of civil marriages of Vienna between 1909 and 1919, based on material of the City Archives of Vienna.

Marriages of the Danish Embassy in Vienna between 1725 and 1783 are now added to the database which contains also the protestant parish AB 1783-1860, protestant parish HB 1784-1870, and the Dutch Embassy 1707 and 1783.
