Mecklenburg Church books & Census for German Genealogy

Written by Karl-Michael Sala

160+ online Linkedin.com Endearing Endorsements, Commendations & Kudos from coaches, colleagues & clients for this gifted & talented researcher--& that's just since July 2008! & that's just from folks who happen to be on Linkedin! http://www.Linkedin.com/in/germangenealogist

Karl has received hundreds more offline client letters of gratitude & commendation since 1979. This, due to Karl's having found ancestral data, often within MINUTES, that other researchers either did not, could not or would not find.

Since 1979, THOUSANDS of data, documents & images for THOUSANDS of ancestral family members for HUNDREDS of clients' ancestral family members have been found by The German Genealogist!

After THOUSANDS of hours of German Genealogy research, in 1984, Karl-Michael Sala was accredited as a German Genealogist by the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After more than a decade of absolutely stunning successes for his clients, Karl was run into by a drunk pick-up truck driver. This 1995 near-death experience ultimately caused that his accreditation was involuntarily pulled. This was to protect the name of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, since '95, along with Karl's recovery, Karl has had more success than ever for clients, patrons, himself & his living family members!

Since 1980, Karl has traveled 7 times behind the former Iron Curtain to East Germany to successfully exhaust hundreds of parish registers of the target ancestral family members.

Karl is a former USAFR Intelligence Officer who earned a Deserving Airman Commission while he had been serving as an Intelligence Operations Specialist & Linguist (German), Interrogator, Debriefer (non-commissioned officer at that time)

Karl is the very 1st person hand-picked for the Paid Expert Ancestry Research Line at Ancestry.com. His wife, Lynell Sala was the 2nd person selected for their short-lived, but highly successful Paid Expert Research Team!

When that project was abandoned, because of his language & research skills, Karl was promoted to taking the majority of research-oriented emails & phone calls from Europe for Ancestry.de, the Deutschland, i.e. Germany, version of Ancestry.com!

As the primary European ancestral genealogy & family history research consultant, Karl served Europeans in their native German language. This further fulfills blessings he had been given earlier in his life.

On the Ancestry.com International Team, Karl served as a consultant for Australia, Austria, Great Britain & mainland Europe! He cracked & solved many cases in those diverse locations.

For their clients, Karl & Lynell have found data & documents on thousands of living & deceased persons. The German Genealogist has solved cases that others said "can't be done!"

Just since Memorial Day 2010, Lynell & Karl-Michael Sala have cracked 6 cases in 6 locations! Germany (4), Lithuania (Littau, i.e East Prussia or Ostpreussen), Poland (5) (Posen or Poznan), Atlantic Ocean & the USA.

Indeed, Karl-Michael Sala is a Master German Genealogist!

Using the Mecklenburg Census Records

May 11, 2012 By NishimotoSR 1 Comment

Now that the Mecklenburg-Schwerin Census records are online, it’s time to use them. If you have been looking for ancestors from this area, you probably know that Mecklenburgers were “movers”. They moved where the work took them. Obviously this makes finding them much more difficult. The online census may give you new clues as to where to find your ancestor.

There are currently three sets of census records in the Germany Mecklenburg-Schwerin Census. They cover the following years:

Mecklenburg-Schwerin census 1867 with 253,140 images online
Mecklenburg-Schwerin census 1890 with 97,846 images online
Mecklenburg-Schwerin census 1900 with 961,656 images online

There is no index for the 1867 census at this time. It will be necessary to search the record by towns. This census includes three lists:

Bevӧlkerungstabelle: Heads of household and a numerical count of others.
Zählungsliste: All household members, birthdates,religion, marital status, occupation and nationality.
Nachtragsliste: Those absent from their main residence at census time.

The Mecklenburg-Schwerin census for 1890 has a searchable index found at this link. After typing in your search information, you will see a list of names closely matching what you typed in. Click on the name you are interested in and a name will appear from the index, as well as the link to the image where that name is found.

The census image is a preprinted form written in Gothic print. This census gives the following information:

• Name
• Gender
• Birthdate
• Birthplace
• Religion
• Marital status
• Occupation
• Nationality

Because these records list a birthplace, you should then be able to find the parish records where the person’s birth information may be located.

The census for the year 1900 also has a searchable index found at this link. These images have a slightly different format than the 1890 census. They have also added some additional information. Information on this census includes the following:

• Name
• Gender
• Marital status
• Birthdate
• Birthplace
• Occupation, with work postion held
• Residence, with district location
• Village/town of occupation
• Religion
• Mother language
• Citizenship
• Physical handicaps such as sight, hearing, bodily injuries, etc.

Because the last two census’ listed are indexed, it will be much easier to locate your Mecklenburg-Schwerin ancestors. If you are searching for your ancestor, you need to give these indexes a try!
