Hi,
just by chance, is anyone of you researching in Rastenburg East Prussia, using one of the following microfilms from familysearch.org
72580 or 72587

Those films are not available in Germany. Due to data protection I guess.. no clue. According to the descriptions there might be something on there which is interesting for my research.

If anyone of you has those films, please let me know.

Thanks!
Barbara
