Tina , Thank you soooooooo much. I'll be on the doorstep first thing at the nearest LDS center. Lynne Tina Ellis <vellis@jps.net> wrote: The LDS have microfilmed the records from 1650 through 1846. This is that portion of their catalog: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localitysearch&columns=*,180,0 Type in Tyniec Legnicky. Click on Enter, and follow the path to the Film Notes. That will give you the years, type of records and film numbers for ordering. They only have Lutheran Records. I hope this is the religion your family practiced in those times. The Roman Catholic parish was Wrocislawice (Obsendorf in German), but I find no records for that religion. I find no church there today.
