Chuck: Regarding your questions, there is no short, concise answer. If Seeburg Catholic records don't start until 1876, it is a good possibility the town was part of another parish prior to 1876. As for German church books being returned to their original parishes in Poland, most German parishes in Poland no longer exist. The books remain deposited in various archives. There are German books as well as Polish books in Polish archives but the main repository for protestant records, I believe is the Evangelical Church archive in Berlin. During the war there was no one place the books were taken to. Some were even hidden in salt mines. Many were lost or destroyed. I'm sure there are other listers out there who probably have more precise knowledge. I'm just basing my answer on my own experiences and readings. Sheila K.
