Austria, Vienna Population Cards, 1850-1896

The FamilySearch database entitled  Austria, Vienna Population Cards, 1850-1896 documented local residents and travelers living in Vienna for the time period of 1850 through 1896, with the original documents being housed in the Wiener Stadt- und Landesarchiv (Vienna City and Provincial Archives). These records have been preserved on microfilm through the LDS and consists of 3,173 microfilm, which can be reviewed here in the microfilm catalog . Although there lacks to be a complete index for this collection, a great deal has already been indexed and provided online.
