Before the German Reunification I had sent many letters to the Zentralstelle fur Genealogie (Center for Genealogy) in Leipzig about records in Mecklenburg and Thuringen. Mainly because I did not know the addresses of the churches. I would write to them in English. After an extended period of time I would get a letter in German from them forwarding the extracts from the appropriate church records. The cost was usually only $18-20. Once I got the church addresses off of the extracts, I stopped writing to Leipzig. Has anyone had contact with the Center for Genealogy, since the reunification, that they can share with the list members? Tom Reise Friendship, WI
