The largest collection of Pommern newspapers is in the University Library in Greifswald. Other large collections are in the University Library in Rostock and the Berlin State Library. German newspapers ordinarily did not have obituaries of people, but did have advertisements placed by families when a family member died. The advertisement would list the surviving relatives, and often gave a death date and birth date, and a woman's maiden name. Other types of advertisements included plans for a family to emigrate, notices of bankruptcy sales, and a search missing heirs. An annual listing of those who were called up by the army was also published.
