    From douglashackney1@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 2 01:28:52 2018
    my family also come from Marienwerder and I am trying to find church records from the mid 1600s to the mid 1800s. I have also tried to google the church which is ir was the Evangelische Kirche. Dom (Niederungs) Kirche Marienwerder without any luck.I
    think another name for it is Evangelische Kirche Gros Nebrau (Kr. Marienwerder). Parish Gross. What does all this mean? Two different churches and where is this church? I am looking for Schmidt family records.
    Many thanks Helga

    It is very common that a protestant church is only referred to as
    Evangelische Kirche+town/village. So if you search for "evangelische
    Kirche" you will find numerous entries which do not really help.Like
    your finding in the county of Marienwerder (Kreis Marienwerder).
    In your a case there is a former roman catholic Dom Kirche (church of a bishop), which is normally on a hill and a Niederungs-Kirche (in the
    lower part of the town) which is built for the citizens wheras the Dom
    Kirche was for clerical personell of the church.
    The two physical churches in most cases do not form independent
    communities, but there is only one parish. Thus the records most likely
    will be kept in the Domkirche.
    Have you tried the microfilms of the Saints of the Last Days, which may
    be available in your local library?

    Many thanks,

    Hail, you answered on an answer of 2018 to a question, which was
    referring to an answer of 1997 and extended the scope by using the
    reference to a town of 50.000 inhabitants.

    Hi there
    My family came from Rospitz, a suburb of Marienwerder, (and also from Danzig), Lutheran faith and spoke German language, to Australia about 1890, but did not have German sounding surnames, Salomon, Sanewski, Wilschefski, Kemsky, Brotkowski, Blum This
    area is now called Rospidzeny in Poland. They came to Queensland Australia through a deal with the Lutheran church of Germany and the government to clear land and thereby qualifying for ownership etc. My question is what happened to the people there in
    and around Marienwerder after 1945? Did they leave or got pushed out?
