This is from a letter in Russian to a family researcher advising him to refer to German Archives authorities for information. It seems to me that '-register'is superfluous here. I am translating this as 'Registers of Births, Deaths and Marriages'. Is this sufficient or am I missing something?

Comment: "Thanks. Both answers are correct but this is a good way of dealing with the use of 'Bücher' as well as 'Register'"
