Another choice is the search of all parish registers, using the LDS microfilms. Due to the size of this category, you must make several selections to narrow the search to a specific film (see image below). First (1.) you must choose “UM” for Unter-Metzenseifen, “OM” for Ober-Metzenseifen or “ST” for Stoß for the city. See image which shows these choices. Second (2.), you must select which type of record you are searching “B” birth, “M” marriage, “D” death or “A” for all. Third, search down the list to year and month. Note the Image Number (4.) before selecting the link to the LDS films under film number (3.). Once the film appears, you must enter in the image number in the selection box to advance the film to the correct image. Using the forward and backward arrows by the image box, you can advance or go back to the image number you need.
Also note at the bottom of this page, there is an area where you can enter the film number and image number and a specific record and date. This information helps others find records more easily by helping to index these thousands of line items.
