Hallo,
Leider kann ich nicht so gut Deutsche schreiben, aber meine ahnen stammen aus
Tolkemit. Ich habe schon bis jahr 1700 durch die kirchenbuecher fuer Tolkemit
gesuchte. Die Bendrin name habe ich schon oft gelesen. Ich lebe in California
und habe die Tolkemit kirchen buecher auf microfilm gelesen bei die LDS. Die
haben was heist "The Family History Library". Da kann man die filme mieten.

Also, the church records on the LDS film for Neu-KircheHoehe go later then
most of the others for the area, some where like 1935. It's worth checking these
because the same families frequently appear in these records through
relation; this could give you a lead. I looked for the film through an online search,
but can't find it right now. I know the LDS does have this film. I will check
my books and other documents to see if I can find any info on Bendrin.
In the book "Tolkemit; Die kleine Stadt am Frischen Haff; Bilder aus
frueheren Zeiten und heute" by Leo Lindner which has a family picture of
"Verwandtschaft Funk-Bendrin - Kommunion Paul Bendrin" and "Familie Bendrin bei den
Grosseltern Kuehnapfel in Conradswalde 1936". I have a connection to the Kuehnapfel
name.
The name Dubshinsky could also bey written as Dobczinski or Dobschinski. This
name is appears frequently in Tolkemit records.
Also, I would suggest contacting Mr. Leo Lindner. He hosts a web site on
Tolkemit and knows alot people from the area. http://www.tolkemit-online.de/
He may be able to connect you with someone that has information on your
family. The memory of family can sometimes be astounding. I got the information I
need to get started through a very unlikely relative. She remembered names and
birthdays back to the 1880. I was amazed!
Best of luck.
