I would like to search films through the mormon church for the areas Bockhorn and Marx, Germany, which I believe are part of Ostfriesland. They are both fairly near to Zetel but I haven't found either on a map. If anyone can tell me how to access the film numbers for these locations, I would appreciate it very much.

You can search by "place" and I would try all the different villages in Germany. You can also search by Surname or keyword. You can rent the films at your local LDS Family History Center (you can find the locations at the same http ... just look at the left side of the screen. You can keep the films for 30 days and the cost is about $5 per film. -----Original Message----- From: niedersachsen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:niedersachsen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lynngns@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 2:26 PM To: NIEDERSACHSEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NIEDERSACHSEN] Need help with LDS Films Hi all, I hope I'm on the right list and can get some help from some of you who are more experienced than I.

My problem is that I cannot find the church records for the village of Bockhorn anywhere. It is north of Oldenburg and I tried there. I also tried Zetel, since it's close to that. Nothing. Is there someway to find the name of the Evangelische church name for the town of Bockhorn? Perhaps that would help, or if you have any other ideas, please let me know. I'm at a loss.

The LDS has 19th Century Catholic records, but that is all I found. Unfortunately they don't have everything. For more information check http://www.hist.de/KB-oldenburg.htm. I found it while searching the Internet, I have no affiliation with the web site, but it looks promising for you. I hope it helps.
