     The International Genealogical Index is maintained by the FHL and
     is available on microfiche or CD-ROM at your local LDS FHC, and
     online at <http://www.familysearch.org/>.  It contains millions of
     birthdates, christening dates, marriages, etc., indexed by surname.
     It is by no means a complete index to all records, however.
     Furthermore, it should be considered to be just an index; you
     should always consult the source documents for IGI entries of
     interest, as they may contain more information and the IGI may
     have errors in transcription.

     Batch numbers enable town-selective searches in the IGI.  A batch
     number index for German records in the IGI can be found at
       <http://www.igi-index.de/>

I'm trying to find German Naval records (Prussian navy I believe) for my Uncle who served in Trieste, Italy from approx. 1879 to 1890 from that port. (and he traveled around the world). I need some advice, any advice, on how I could find a record of him being there or even any record of him being in the German Navy there. A genealogist that could help, or where the records might be housed. I did see on another post that some German records were destroyed in Berlin in 1945, but I don't know those details. I appreciate any comments. Thank you.
