Hello,
I very recently re-joined the group after being away about 15 years.
Three of my grandparents were born and raised in West Prussia in the
latter half of the 19th century and then came to the United States. All
my information about the family has been obtained from microfilmed
Lutheran church records for Lessen, Niederzehren, Neudorfchen, and
Bromberg. Last month I discovered by greatgrandmother's baptism in the
records of the Lessen Catholic church. Her parents were married in the
Catholic church, even though I earlier found her father's Lutheran
baptism record. I would like to know if it was very common for
Lutherans and Catholics to marry in West Prussia in the 1830s.
Thank you.
Dave
