Re: Holtz/Holst/Holz & more

Phyllis,
    I see a Hagen on your list of names. My great-grandfather was born
in Ruthenbeck, south of Crivitz, and was married in Russow, between
Wismar and Rostock. His name was Carl Joachim Friedrich Hagen, b. 28
April 1857, m. 20 Oct 1890 to Marie Gratopp. According to his death
certificate his father was Johanne Carl Hagen and his mother was
Dorothea Frederick.
    In searching the Crivitz church records he is not to be found, and
Ruthenbeck church records have not been filmed, as far as I can find.
If this is the correct Hagen I would appreciate being headed in the
right direction to find documentation of his birth. I have
documentation of his marriage through the Russow church records.
Thank you,
