Hello, I am hoping I have located reliable sources regarding my ggg-grandmother's place of birth. Naturalization papers record 'Lichtenfeld' and her death certificate indicates 'Eicholtz'. Karen B. Whitmer had mentioned earlier that both were located in Kreis Heiligenbeil, East Prussia. Today, Lichtenfeld is Lelkowo, Poland and Eichholz is Debowiec. I would appreciate any help regarding where to write for Protestant Parish and civil records. Also, her last residence before emigrating is recorded as 'Hipstedt'. I understand that town is located in Kreis Rottenburg, Lower Saxony. Where would I write for records regarding permission to emigrate? I appreciate all of the help I have received while attempting to uncover the life story of my family. Thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge. Best regards, Wendy Fischbach South Dakota, USA To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. -Anatole France ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. http://mobile.yahoo.com/mobileweb/onesearch?refer=1ONXIC

Hi Wendy, I'm not sure of your dates, but have you looked at LDS films? For example Evangelische Kirche Eichholz (Kr. Heiligenbeil)<http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=authordetails&authorno=277952&name=Evangelische+Kirche+Eichholz+%28Kr%2E+Heiligenbeil%29%2C+null> covers B D Ms 1668-1823 on only four films.
