Hello Bronwyn, These Certificates, are from Brisbane, Australia. I haven't tried for The Certificates, from Germany, as yet. Thanking you Anne -----Original Message----- From: prussia-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:prussia-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Bronwyn Klimach Sent: Tuesday, 23 August 2011 12:44 PM To: prussia-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] re kuhlow family Hi Anne, Are these certificates from Australia, Germany, or both? They certainly give you a great starting point, despite any potential errors. How early do they date back to? Take a look here if you wish to be convinced of the earlier spelling for Prenzlau: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenzlau I think what looks like Benzlow is more than likely also Prenzlow. The Mormons have filmed records for Gerswalde, but only back to 1845. Searching Prenzlau records can be time consuming as there were several parishes. You may have the church named on some of the records in your possession? Bronwyn.

Does anyone know whether vital records exist in Prussia? I know there are church records, such as baptism, marriage, death. What about vital records, similar to birth certificates, marriage certificates and death certificates here in the U.S.? This would be for the Kartuzy area. I seem to recall reading that these exist and they contain more information than the church records. Thanks.

Lorene, since the 01 Oct. 1874 there were civil records in Prussia. Which village/town and years are you exactly looking for ? The LDS church has microfilmed the civil registers of the town Karthaus (today Kartuzy) until 1883. The records from 1874 to 1906 are in the State Archive in Danzig (today Gdansk) and the records after 1906 in the Civil Registration Office of Karthaus.
