I am interested in finding late 18th and early to mid 19th century church records of the town/village of Gorschlitz (Goerschlitz) near Eilenburg. I've written to the church nearby at Authausen where the records from Goerschlitz are supposedly held. Unfortunately, I have not received a reply. The surnames I am interested in are: ZSCHAU (SCHAU,SCHAUE) STEPHAN Looking for alternative suggestions as to finding these records.
