I am new and not sure if I have the right region, so let me know. I am looking to find information about my second great grandfather, Heinrich Rothenburg and his family, and to trace back my lineage from there.
His father may have been Friedrich Rothenburg, born about 1838 in Göritz, Weststernberg, Frankfurt, Brandenburg, Preussen. Friedrich's first born son appears to have been from Säpzig (and later moved to Berlin, as of 1887). The next eldest appears to be my second great grandfather, Heinrich Rothenburg, born about 1866, who also lived in Berlin from about 1890. I have found records for their lives in Berlin. What I am interested in are records of birth and marriage from their home towns, including records for Heinrich's parents and siblings.
However, it does not appear that Archion has church records available for Göritz or Säpzig.
Is that because the parish's do not have the records any longer or they are just not on Archion? Are the church records from these areas available elsewhere online?
Are there other ways I might locate birth, marriage, and death records from these areas?
I appreciate any assistance or connecting with others who may be researching the Rothenburg family as well.
