Hello - I hope someone can help me. I am looking for information on Wilhelmine Louisa Matilde FERDINAND, born about 1880 in Germany, probably Prussia. At some stage she moved to Africa, possibly as a child with her parents, or after her marriage to a Mr. LANGE (first name not known). Thank you and best wishes, Mary

Hello, Unforturnately, the two areas( Pradziad and Christoph),I have seen. The years I desperately needed are births for 1795-1810. I feel there are no records out there for Karlowice during these years. Since 1999 I have been searching for my GG Grandfather birth record. Thank you Bronwyn and Stefan Ruckling for replying, I know that I am at the end of this research for my GG Grandfather. Perhaps, the 1810-1815 birth records at the State Archives in Opole could offer some clues. Thanks again, Sally ____________________________________________________________ 60-Year-Old Mom Looks 27 Mom Reveals Free Wrinkle Trick That Has Angered Doctors! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/4ed93df7b22fd70dceest02vuc

Sally, as Bronwyn wrote there are no Protestant church books of Karlsmarkt in Germany. Only the birth records of the Protestant church between 1810 and 1815 survived the war and are in the State Archives in Oppeln. This is a usefull site about Silesian church books today: http://www.christoph-www.de/kbsilesia2.html (It's in German, but if you know some keywords, it's easy to understand.)

Hello, Does anyone know how to research in Germany for records from Karlowice, Poland? What Archives would have records from the southeastern part of Silesia before 1945. Originally, this village was in Silesia (Prussian) before 1945 under the name of Karlsmarkt. LDS has records up to 1766 only. The Catholic Church only has records from 1945. I was told from a reliable source, it was an Evangelical Church before 1945. According to the Genealogical Guide and Atlas of Silesia, it was listed Karlsmarkt as having records thru the year 1937. The years I need are 1766 to 1818. Any thoughts on the above, would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Trudy. I think that's the name someone else suggested but it's always nice to hear a first-hand recommendation. I keep mentioning it to my cousin, but I haven't been able to motivate her yet. Do you remember abt how much Kasia charged for the research she did before your trip? Thanks again for the link.

Hello Becky, the Protestant church books of Seeger, county of Köslin, are lost since 1945. Only the civil registers survived which begin in 1874. So you may trace your ancestors back to around 1800 (calculated) if they died after 1874. The problem is that those civil registers are not online and not filmed by the LDS church (only 1874-1880) - they are in the State Archives in Köslin. In this Archives are also other documents which may help you (such as land registers or documents of the civil court). So I would propose to check first the databases which Mark recommended to you. By the way the Post name was relatively common in Pomerania. The "Hufenklassifikation" (1717) lists 8 Post families - 6 of them lived in the county of Köslin, but not in directly in Seeger.

Becky, you might also google the village names & see what pops up. Might give you a sense of what the village is like. Also try google books. I found a book that way that had info on Zechlin & a drawing of the one-road village. Fortunately it was an e-book so I could read, save & print the info. In case your village is in Kreis Stolpe, I think this is the title of the book: "Der Landkreis Stolpe in Pommmern: Zeugnisse seiner deutschen Vergangenheit" - by Karl Heinz von Pagel, publ. 1989 by Heimatkreisis Stolp & by Landkreis Stolp. I think it was in German or Polish, so I used Google translator on the 3 pages.

Hi Becky You'll find some 20GB of data here: http://www.many-roads.com/libraries/prussia-histories/ Several dozen links are here: http://www.many-roads.com/link-directory/ And dozens of maps here: http://www.many-roads.com/libraries/maps/prussian-german-maps/ In searching "damals Pommern", you should also check out the Familysearch online birth records. They have about 141,000 Pommern church documents online (I don't know how many millions of births that is but a lot...) : http://tinyurl.com/6b3tkpy Hope these help you.
