In "The MEcklenburg Genealogical Handbook", they also list film 069,800 as
covering Roedlin parish. However, when I check the contents on the LDS
catalog, I find it covers the parish of Wanzka, including the towns of
Rollenhagen, Ballwitz, Blankensee, Godenswege, Holldorf, Krickow and Zachow.
Godenswege is the next town directly west of Cammin, and Wanzka is actually
closer to Cammin than Roedlin. The sleuth part of me says to check out film
069,800 just on the chance that the early records were thrown accidently on
that film.

Thanks Linda,

I saw the same thing in my copy and ordered that film as well, but to no
avail, and I went page by page, just looking for anything from Cammin. That
was the last time I really held out much hope. It is just VERY peculiar to
not be able to find these records when the hundreds of other parishes I have
looked through are right there. I do appreciate you looking for me though.
Lots of nice folks inhabit the group!!!!!
