My great grandfather Johann (John)Voss L4HW-N44was born Dec. 30, 1850 supposedly in
Germany/Denmark, Preußen, Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel -- Census -- 1855.
Census of Ahrensböck, Bordesholm, Cismar, Kiel and Kronshagen counties in Schleswig-Holstein. This site will not open to us.
I did find one census online but I do not know if it is the right town I can't read it. Here is the photo of it.

Schleswig-Holstein was a set of duchies under Danish rule until 1864. Denmark did censuses in the duchies in 1803, 1835, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855, and 1860 and those are available online. I recommend using DanishFamilySearch.com. The parish records, however, are kept by the current countries which in your case is Germany. Unfortunately many of the church records in this part of Germany still require onsite research since they have not been turned in.

Tanner, Are you able to read the mother's maiden name on the census we sent. It lists my grandfather Johann age 5 and his older brother Frederick Voss age 8 but it looks like the mother remarried, had a child with the new husband and we can't read if this is the right place. Seems like this would be my grandfather and his brother but we haven't found any birth records yet. My grandmother said my great grandfather's name was Frederick. Trying to find, Are we looking in the right places, page 446 and 444 for the Danish Headings?

I don't think you sent the photo correctly. There is no hyperlink nor is there an image attached.

Here is an image and a link. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89LP-8SR7?i=445&cat=501834 Is this the family you are asking about? You need a father named Jochim LHX3-LXG
who is married in 1857 to Magdalena according to the FS tree you provided. This family doesn't seem to match. The FS tree doesn't show an older brother Frederick.

Yes this is it. Someone else added the Jochim in my family search record. I am looking for my great great grandfather. When my grandmother was alive she told me his name is Frederick, not Jochim. I left Frederick below the Jochim family in my record until I find out.
I believe the father on this page in this record is the Step-father but I can't read his name, Johann somebody. His wife is Catherine but I can't read her maiden name. The first 2 boys are Frederick Voss age 8 and Johann Voss age 5 showing that they had a different father. It looks like the 3rd child is from the second marriage. August or something and the same last name as the step-father. I am trying to straighten our this mess. What is the step-father's last name?
Because of the naming patterns a child should have been called Frederick. Also there is no child called Frederick in the Jochim family in the many children. Someone just added it to my record. I can't read the Danish/German. On page 444 it gave the heading for this section and on page 446 it showed headings at the top but I can't read it. I don't know where this family is living now or what happened to the first father of the Voss boys. I need your help.

Be careful with naming patterns. They are a custom, not a law and they don't always get followed. I think her maiden name is Parjan.

It appears that the last names of the head of household, Johan, is Hörst. The biggest clue that suggests this spelling is the in the birth place column of the mother. It says Grönwoldshorst which shows up on gazetteers in this area. https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10627076
Unfortunately, I do not think the church records are online in this area.
