Misread on my part. Looking for Lutheran
records. Oh well...
As for copying. our library and LDS centre
have the capability to email to my house. Naturally it is free and once
you are at home you can then change the
scan's .exposure, enlarge or reduce.

Uwe,
No - I am looking at microfim records of Jews in
Elbing from 1812-1871. Eventually they (Utah) plan to digitize all material
but I have no clue when that might be - I will probably be dead by then.
My local branch orders the films and they can be viewed on readers. You
can make a photocopy from the film ($0.25 a page) but these are much harder to
read than the film itself. I glanced thru the pages I had copied with my
family and do not see these names. These are Jewish families you are searching
for? The local branch is not in my town but I will probably be going in week
after next and will look. I have spent a lot of time pouring over the film and
do not recall these names. That does not mean they are not there tho. Can you
suggest any alternative spelling or give me a hint on years or given names -
that might help. Some of the years are extremely difficult to read as the
rabbi had very small and bad handwriting. Are you saying the FHL in your area
has that capability?
Anyone searching for Jewish family should also
sign up for the Jewishgen mailing list and list your surnames on the Jewishgen
Family Finder so that other researchers may be of help. Unfortunately, some of
the info at the family finder is out of date and you do not know if the
person ever received the message. They have mailing lists for several interest
groups as well - including Germany, Gdansk, etc.
For those of you doing research on non-Jewish
families the Mormons have other films as well. To see a complete list go to
their website, http://www.familysearch.org/, click on
library, click on library catalogue, then place search, then type in Elbing. I
have not worked with the other films. You can also find a complete list of
library branch locations at their website. Here in Ohio they have not pushed
their religion at all. In the states they have branches all across the
country.

Hi Carolyn
Would you look for Krickhahn's ? I know ,
according to Günther Mauter in Elmshorn, Germany, there are some.
Would also be interested in all Paten, and relatives.
Is the Mormon Church up to speed, by that I
mean coudl you copy direct into the computer and internet like it is in our
town. ?
Thanks
Uwe

Lital,
I tried the website of the mormon church to
find a branch of their family history center for you and did not have any
luck. Please let me know if you are unable to access the film from your
location. I have a copy until mid-April and can renew it indefinitely. I
would be glad to try to send you information on your family(s). I am not
the best translator but the records are fairly straigtforward and I am
willing to try.
I would need the surname and any known
spelling variations - altho I can probably figure them out. Also, any
given names that you know.
Carolyn
