description: 'Over the years, GOV has developed into a tool for genealogists, historians
  and other researchers that allows uniform access to a wide range of location-related
  data, especially to information that is important for the work of family researchers.:


  - Geographical location of the place (coordinates or display on a map)

  - Various key numbers (zip code, municipality code, etc.)

  - Foreign or historic names

  - Historical affiliation (administrative, ecclesiastical, etc.) based on current
  affiliations


  Churches, church districts, towns, counties, regions, etc. can be found in the GOV.
  Internally, an entry is generally referred to as a GOV object. [from homepage]'
