[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Berlin Research

[Mike McHenry]

I would suggest checking to see which church books the Mormons have. In my
case, Lipno, they were not and I had to request them from Berlin EZAB.

 Adelheid, 

     I think you'll have to give a few more clues about where your
 family lived for more complete advice. Howard mentioned two possible
 archives. 

     Most of the church-books in the EZAB (Evangelischen Zentralarchiv
 in Berlin) have been microfilmed, and can be borrowed from the Mormons, 
 so that might not be the best use of your time. 

     The Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz has government
 documents from Prussia, the Mormons have done some filming, but there
 is also a lot of unfilmed material. If your family was from Prussia, 
 and you know where, then that might be a useful place to spend a few
 days. I'm (slowly) writing an article for the SGGEE journal about a
 succesful trip I made to the Geheimes Staatsarchiv last year.
