Finding a Polish/German marriage record
I am looking for the marriage of my direct ancestors, Moritz Lachmann (LBNX-DR2) and Rebecka Cohn. Their first son, Nathan Lachmann was born 23 Jan. 1855 in Mogilno, Posen. They were Jewish.
I have been looking in Bromberg where there are Jewish records on Film # 007955557 but I can't read enough to know where to begin looking for marriage records about 1854. I was looking here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS8D-7Q3G-2?cat=243651 and thought they were marriages and deaths, but are they or are they births?
Where was the Jewish synagogue that people from Mogilno would have gone to? I have only seen Catholic church records there.
Thank you so much for any help!

- According to Meyers Gazetteer, there was a Jewish synagogue in Mogilno (https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20200052)
- The film you were looking at from Bromberg, according to the catalog, includes birth, marriage and death records. The first part are births, marriage (start at image 99), and deaths (start at 163) through 1847. Records after 1847 start at image 234., marriage (at image 376). Marriages for 1854 start at image 382. These are for the community of Bromberg, not the district of Bromberg, so I doubt it would include records from Mogilno, but it wouldn't hurt to check.
- I would search the Catholic records of Mogilno. In some areas, Jewish life events were recorded by the local dominant religion. małżeństw is the Polish word for marriages.
