[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Lebus

[Paul Rakow]

  Darrell,

       The LDS have microfilms of the Protestant church books from
  Lebus, and have put scans on the internet. These are the legal
  copies of the church book, sent to the government, so they stop
  in 1874, when civil records start.  If your ancestor was born
  in Lebus, she might be in the book.

      Go to the Family History Library catalogue, and look for Lebus.

          Paul Rakow
