Just order Film 1195062 from your nearest LDS Family History Library. When the film arrives check it thoroughly as this film covers christenings from 1810-1834 and you may find more siblings. For the burial check for the source the same way. If you do not understand how to order LDS films ask at your nearest Mormon Library. It is so easy for you to locate film numbers, go back to the IGI entry click on Adam Steffan another menu will appear giving you all the details, Batch No., Dates, Source & Film no. which is underlined, click on the underlined number 1195062, another menu appears giving you details of the Kirchenbuch for Lampertheim. Click on VIEW FILM NOTES in the top right hand corner of the screen and you will see a listing of all the LDS films available for this parish including baptisms, burials, marriages. You can achieve the same results by clicking on "Family History Catalog" right hand side of the home page at < www.familysearch.org > Click on place search, then enter place Lampertheim in the box, top left hand corner of the screen, enter country Germany and a menu appears listing all the LDS films available for Lampertheim. This christening is prior to civil registration so you will only be able to obtain a church record. You can write to the church if you wish but fees may apply. You will only receive the same details as appear on the LDS film of the church register. In most cases the volunteer parish archivist will advise you to check the LDS films first. Some parishes do not respond to family history requests, if their records have been filmed by the LDS. Address for the Church: Ev. Pfarramt Lukasgemeinde 68623 Lampertheim, Römerstr. 94 Germany You are extremely lucky that the LDS have filmed the records you need.
