Kreis Soldin, Neumark, Brandenburg Church Records

Bonnie Weisel

I've been researching my ancestor Christian Friedrich Gülle ( 6 Feb 1813 Kreis Soldin, Brandenburg, Prussia - 1 Jun 1893 Dodge Co., WI). From the Civil War pension application he made on behalf of his son who died in 1865, it is know he married Maria Louise Heide in 1839 at Fahlenwerder, Kreis Soldin. From the Civil War Invalid pension application and marriage record made by Christian's son Charles August Gülle/Gille (1842 - 1924 Nicollet Co., MN) he was born at Fahlenwerder and/or Soldin. Another researcher has posted Christian Friedrich Gülle was born at Staffelde, Kreis Soldin, but provided no source that could be verified.

My question is - what Kreis Soldin (Polish Myślibórz) church records have survived and can be searched today. My focus is on Fahlenwerder, Soldin and Staffelde.

From my research it appears the best answer lies in the recently published book
(https://grueneberg-lenzen.de/deutsch/Publikationen/band8.html):

Kirchenbücher, Kirchenbuch-Duplikate und Standesamtsregister
der ehemals brandenburgischen Kreise Königsberg, Soldin, Landsberg, Arnswalde, Friedeberg, Ost- und Weststernberg, Crossen, Züllichau-Schwiebus, Guben und Sorau (östl. der Neisse), Schwerin, Meseritz, Bomst
Bestandsverzeichnis 2022
Georg Grüneberg

Is there someone who has access to this book able to verify or document if any records exist for Fahlenwerder, Soldin or Staffelde that can be researched?

thanks, Bonnie Weisel

Hello @Bonnie Weisel,
