Hello list,
I recently read a microfilm of 1867 census in Mecklenburg and was unable to read all the typed information which was on each page where the family members are listed (I don't know enough German yet, and partly because it was in such small print). Is there anywhere that a copy of the information that appears on each entry is translated for the 1867 census into English? The information I'm seeking includes headings above the columns and other text that appears on the 4 pages for each family.
Danke Schön

Hi Grace,
I have copies of some of the pages at home. I'll take a look and let you
know what the headings are.
