I need all (or most) of the searchable links for telephone numbers
for individuals in Germany.  

Ideally, these links will also provide addresses.

-- I am trying to find family members in Germany. According to family
lore, two brothers imigrated from Germany to the US in about 1795. 
Some family historians say that there aren't any family members
remaining in Germany.  Years ago I saw a list of people with the same
or similar last name (surname) in a German telephone book.

I'll give an additional tip if you can answer the following question:

Historically, what was going on in Germany in about 1795 that would
cause people to immigrate to the US?

Hi, Beckyp-ga !

There are many links to German phone books online, but they all lead
to these primary sources:


The German telephone book is online at:

http://www.teleauskunft.de/

There is an slightly shaky English version - click on menu top left.
It gives addresses as well as phone numbers. Note that the street
number follows the street name, and "str" stands for "Strasse"
(street). The long string of numbers is the Zip Code.

Yellow Pages are also there


You will  find Infospace's  People Finder for Germany is at:

http://www.infospace.com/info/intldb/pplfindint.htm?QO=DE

Sometimes additional information is listed. If you register you can
get an addressbook into which your search findings can be added. AOL
White Pages uses Infospace.


Another useful source is at:

http://www.branchenbuch.com/

This lists businesses but also allows you to search for firms which
include an individual name, such as "Bach" or "Hoffmann" - and it
gives addresses. So you may find someone here because they run
"Hoffmann's Hardware" even though their home number is not available.


Business listings are also available at:

Now for your second question:

During the  French Revolution (1789  - 1795) and afterward, France
embarked on ambitious series of campaigns to seize power in Europe
while other European powers allied against her. France annexed Belgium
and Monaco in 1793.  Mainz (in Germany) changed hands several times
over the years, among other events. Germany at the time was still made
up on a number of largely independent states such as Baden, ruled by 
Margrave Karl IV Friedrich, Hanover - at that time in a personal union
with Great Britain - and the powerful Prussia. For details on these
and many others go to:
 
www.worldstatesmen.org/German_States1760-1918_A-N.html 
  

"In Germany, just as in other countries of continental Europe,
dissatisfaction with absolute rule, the outdated feudal structure of
society, with privileges favorizing the few over the mass, were
widespread. So news of the French revolution was welcomed by many,
especially among Germany's intellectuals.

Jacobinism found followers in Germany, especially in MAINZ .... where
a tree of liberty was planted on market square; Mainz, together with
the entire left bank of the Rhine, was annexed by France in 1795.
Southern Germany became theater of war 1795-1800. " (Note: from the
English, I think this passage has been translated.)

So you can hardly blame people for wanting to emigrate to the States !

Thank you for an interesting question.



Search terms:
"Germany 1795"
"Napoleon 1795 Mainz"
"Germany white pages" 
"German states 1795"

Great answer.  I found the 15 or so names (and addresses) that I
remembered from an earlier search and the genealogical links are a big
help.

The 1795 history was an added bonus and fits with my father's memory
that there was "probably some Prussian war going on".

Thank you.
