Hi Stefan, I already looked at the microfilm that you mentioned. Maybe then I need to look at Catholic records. My relative created the family tree around 1963. Vera according to the book "Kirchenb?cher, Kirchenbuch-Duplikate und Standesamtsregister der ehemals brandenburgischen Kreise ... Z?llichau-Schwiebus ..." [church books, duplicates and civil records in the county of ... Z?llichau-Schwiebus ...] the protestant church books don't exist (probably vanished about 1945). There is only a parish register extract from 1800 to 1946. This isn't a complete copy of the church book. It's microfilmed by the LDS church. Are you sure that your ancestors were Protestant ? Schwiebus was a Catholic region, the Protestants were a minority. When did your relative trace the family back ? Before 1945 ? Best regards, Stefan
