The first item is a so called "Lebens Pass mit Familienchronik" - just a " life passport " including your personally family chronicle. You should include all important information dealing with your life (starting from birth and parents) and your family.

The second book is a very common party song book of the NSDAP from 1941.

The third book is a "Familienstammbuch" (family book) to include all important documents (birth-, marriage-, and death records for the owner and his family). When you starte a family with your marriage you also had to start a booklet like your.

Still today in Germany the Standesamt (Registry ofices) use these books.
