Tina and Bronwyn, Thank you Bronwyn for those additional sites to research. You're correct - there is a lot of information there. I will take the time to review them over the next few weeks. Tina, I took your advice and I went to my family history centre and ordered three films covering Wartenburg Catholic baptism records for the time period I'm researching as well as one film containing marriage records. However, I've been told it can take up to six weeks before they arrive so I'll just have to be patient (when it comes to genealogy, not one of my better traits). There are sixteen films in all for the Catholic records and three films for the Evangelical records. I can see I'll be looking through a lot of film over the next few months. When I came home from work I was again browsing the web and came across a very interesting site on Wartenburg: http://www.familienforschung.jorczik-musik.de/ It is the webpage of Lothar Jorczik. To my utter amazement he has typed up the index for marriages in the Catholic Church of St. Anna in Wartenburg, Kreis Allenstein. Dates are from 1691 - 1900 with the exception of years 1765 - 1797 which are missing. I found the possible listing for my great great grandparents, Valentin LANDSHÖFT and Elisabeth BEHREND. The spelling of their names was slightly different. LANDSHÖFT was LAMSHOEFT and BEHREND was BEHRENDT. They were married April 29, 1850. Now I want to see the actual church record to verify the data. It looks as if Lothar still has some names to add as the listing for my great grandparents isn't there yet. Now that's what I consider a lucky break! The site also has some beautiful photographs of the town and some of the local people. Very interesting indeed. I'll keep you all posted on my progress. Again, thank you for your help. Maria
