Genealogy
Overview
Overview
Researching the Schrader clans is one of the main tasks of the family association. To this end, information has been collected, ordered and filed in the archives for 100 years. The results of the research are regularly published in the “Mitteilungshefte” of the family association and also archived.
Through enquiries and contributions from members as well as through external enquiries from genealogists from all over the world, the information stock is constantly being supplemented and corrected. This also flows into the archive and may lead to new publications.
Research sources
An essential basis of the research is the primary and secondary sources such as church records or university registers, which have been sifted through and evaluated by the association members in churches, parishes, libraries for information with a direct or indirect Schrader connection since the founding of the family association. This information was used in the research of the clans and printed in the form of details in the bulletins.
Since its inception, 9,000 details have been collected in the first 20 years, ranging from single-line church book entries to texts of several pages. The outbreak of World War II also brought a break here: people had other, existential concerns. With the division of Germany, direct access to many churches and archives important for research was lost. The paper for publishing new bulletins was missing and contemporary history can be seen in the continuity of publishing new bulletins. The regular publication of details was suspended; in a great effort it was possible in 1999 to publish a separate volume with only the remaining collected details.
Details
A treasure chest for genealogical research are the details that have been collected over many years and printed in individual notebooks.

| VI | — | 1999 | 5500 – 9000 |
Each of these volumes I – VI with details has a comprehensive index of places and names.

Archive of the Schrader Family Association
The archive is the heart chamber of the research and the family association. The current research activities and the exchange with members and interested genealogists are based on the archive holdings.
History of the archive
In earlier decades, the archive was often located with the respective archivist.
With the increasing volume of archive material, this practice could no longer be maintained and the archive found its penultimate home in Eutin for many years in the house of the former archivist.
In 2009, after his death, a location was sought that offered the necessary infrastructural conditions and was centrally accessible.
Such a place was found in Jerichow Monastery in the Altmark region of Saxony-Anhalt.
A contract was signed with the Jerichow Monastery Foundation to permanently house the archive.
In 2009, the archive moved to its current location, probably for the last time.
The extensive history of the archive can be found here.
Inventory history
The development of the collection is inextricably linked to the research activities and the research priorities of the family association.
In an effort to collect everything connected with the Schrader name, literature about Schrader personalities was collected as well as various products made by Schrader personalities.
Knowledge about genealogy and heraldry was not yet available on the internet 100 years ago, so of course specialist literature was also collected.
General and regionally specific source material rounds off the basis.
The research of the Schrader clans, which are documented in clan files, rests on this foundation.
No closed provenance can be determined for the archive’s holdings, neither geographically nor, for example, according to estates.
However, the focus of the collection activity can be clearly determined to be the first 20 years since the founding of the family association, before the Second World War with its aftermath also permanently changed our research activity.
The archive material covers the years 1850-2000.
An outstanding life achievement distinguishes Karl Schrader, who was born in Wolfenbüttel on 4 April 1834 as the son of a doctor. From 1853 to 1856 he studied law and political science at the universities of Berlin and Göttingen. His later work in Berlin was so extensive and lasting that only a multitude of descriptions can provide information about his fields of activity.
Paul Schrader (1874 – 1950) played a major role in making the name Schrader a seal of quality among tea drinkers.
