My husband's ancestors are: Gottfried STOLDT, born in 1838 in Farenwaldt, Stetin, Germany. Married Caroline MOLDENHAUER in 1863 and they came to America in 1873 (to Michigan). Caroline's obituary says she was from Damrow, Prussia, Germany. I would like to find their parents, etc., and any other information I can about them. I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I had great success by doing exactly this.

Hello, I would like to thank everyone who shared their time and knowledge helping me to better understand and learn about the location of birth for my 3xg-grandmother, Henriette Radke and some of the steps she took during her lifetime. Your thoughtful consideration is very much appreciated. I have learned much and can see there is much yet to learn. Best regards, Wendy Fischbach To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. -Anatole France ____________________________________________________________________________________Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/

Thanks so much to all of you for responding. Every bit of that information helps a lot. How kind of you to share your research results with me. The names I am researching are Deyke (Shackenbruch) and Rinka (Gross Herzogswalde - Stradem). According to the U.S. census, a few of them arrived in the late 1800's. Beyond that I have no dates so I am starting in the most recent dates in the films and going backwards from there until I can no longer find any of their names. I will then try the neighboring villages. I'm not sure if this is the best route, but it was all I could think of. The films that I currently hold have no columns or rows. They are written in somewhat of a paragraph form and separated by the year. I found the names and now have to print up my copies and then decipher them. Bronwyn, I was told the name of the village by my cousins. After that they sent me some of their copies of records from a Kirchenbuch. I found the films from LDS and ordered them. I haven't seen any of the names you mentioned yet. If I do I will contact you immediately. Laura, unfortunately I have no stories. I have some photos that are old postcards from a website. If you would like I will send you that link. The names you mentioned are not in my family, that I know of. I think that I might have seen a Bettker(spelled like that)however in the films I am currently researching. I will be returning to my local history center next week Robert, I too lived in Germany. I was right outside of Munich in Baldham. This was back in 1989-1994, I went back and forth from the U.S. throughout all of those years. I was working in Marienplatz during this time. I really like Munich a lot. The sad thing is that during that time I was not even dreaming of genealogy. Too bad, I could have gotten much done.

Linda, Just because you were told the parish for Schakenbruch was at Bellschwitz, it doesn't automatically mean that Bellschwitz is where the civil records for Schakenbruch were located. If the Lutheran parish was at Bellschwitz and your ancestors were Lutheran, then it seems logical they would have gone to Bellschwitz. The civil registration records can be very helpful, but generally they do not begin until around 1874 in that area. You did not say when you were looking for this family and the time period is important in such cases. If "after 1874" fits for your family, you may want to check the civil records for Jauth (Gross Jauth), as that was the office for civil registration of Schakenbruch inhabitants. That said, you may even want to check the Catholic Church records for Rosenberg, as it's possible that non-Catholic events were recorded in the Catholic records. Rosenberg was a very early church in the area. Karen B. Whitmer ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Will I obtain much information from the > civil registration? Hi Linda, That depends on the time frame of the civil registration, what information you've already found and what you're trying to find, and what you consider "much information." :) The Bremen Civil Registration records I have used date back to the late 1820s and they are fantastic. Used in conjunction with the church records of the village, I put together the entire family including all children, parents, grand-parents, and great-grandparents in an afternoon. I struck the mother-lode. Of course, it took me three years to get to that point but that's irrelevant <g>. Those civil birth records I used had date of birth, name of each parent with their occupation and birth date. It also had the mid-wife's name and the date the child was registered. The civil marriage and death records included the same info including the names of the parents. I don't recall any of them listing place of birth for the subject, but it's been a while since I looked at them and could be mistaken. As always, content on records varied from locale to locale and epoch to epoch. Good luck, LGO
