Second, to promote family history focusing on the Southern Waldviertel region of Lower Austria and publish genealogical research from that area.

The site also provides many educational tools to assist with Austrian family history, which include German script tutorials, map resources, feudal records information, language guides, research tips, time & date help, etc.
