Hello Rebecca,
Thank you for your response. I agree with what you say. The complication
is that I was never able to locate the birth or death record of Sophia.
The only reference I ever found was on the birth record of my
great-grandfather.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Russ

Hello Mr. Mason,
My initial thought is that I was under the impression (confirmed by my
own research in church records in Mecklenburg) that the marriages took
place in the town of residence of the woman, in her parish, not
necessarily where the man was living at the time. Do you know if Sophia
Kohn was also living in Conow during this time period? Do you know
where she was born (from her death/burial record)?
Btw, I also have Rohde in my genealogy. Further north than Conow,
however, in Mecklenburg-Schwerin. My gr-gr-grandmother (1842-1900) was
a Rohde, from Rehna. The family traces back in Rehna a few more
generations. Also in Kluetz.
Sincerely,

Hello Listers,
I hope someone may be able to help me.
My great-great-grandfather, Friedrich ROHDE was a resident of Conow,
Mecklenburg-Strelitz. After the death of his wife, he married Sophia
KOHN (no
umlaut), between 1844 and 1848. I have not been able to locate this
marriage
record. It is not listed in the Franz Schubert Kopulation register nor
have I found it in neighboring churches in Kreis Prenzlau or Kreis
Templin.
