IN THE ABOVE SET OF RECORDS.....you would want #921841 which includes Taufen/Baptisms-Christenings from 1820-1821. Looks like you can take your choice of the three films which would include baptisms done in Feb 1821. You may find that the birth date you have for your person is slightly incorrect. This should be cleared up in the christening record. Remember that these records will be either in German or Latin or a combination, and will be in the old German handwriting. By the way, Richard. I suggest you subscribe to and request help from Rootsweb¹s NORDRHEIN-WESTFALEN mailing list. You are much more likely to get responses re: Assinghausen from that mailing list than from the Alsace-Lorraine list. Good luck! Cari Thomas
