Arnold >Ross Arnold Ross, Have you looked at the LDS microfilms of church records for the village of Battrow, Kreis Flatow? Did you know it contains records of births, marriages, and deaths for the period of 1798 through 1874 - the time period you're asking about? See this link . . . http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=90135&disp=Kirchenbuchduplikat%20%20&columns=*,0,0 Here is another link for microflmed records of other villages in Kr. Flatow . . . http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localityhitlist&columns=*%2C0%2C0&PLACE=Flatow&PARTOF=&prePLACE=Flatow&prePARTOF= Have you looked at any of these? If so, and you found nothing, then you may have the wrong locale for your ancestors. If you have not looked at them, it seems a waste to go to the records office in Berlin or Leipzig without looking at these first at your nearest LDS Family History Center.
