Zempelburg, West Prussia Genealogy

Marriage records from the Evangelical parish of Zempelburg 1794-1832
An Evangelical congregation existed before 1794, but records for this period of time have not endured because of destruction and barring of records. Only in the year 1773 did the Evangelical church receive permission to build a church. From 1739-1773 the congregation took in Zempelburg, Vandsburg and Pemperin as well as all neighboring villages. The baptisms, marriages and death records from this time frame may be in their registers as well as in the Catholic church registers of Zempelburg and Vandsburg, Runowo, Sypniewo and Zabartowo. After 1821 the following villages belonged to the parish of Zempelburg: Groß Lutau, Plötzig, Wilkowo, Groß and Klein Wisniewke, Nichors, Grünlinde, Schönhorst, Obendorf, Zempelkowo, Salesch, Lein Lutau, Waldowke, Zahn, Groß and Klein Loßburg, Dzidno, Waldau, Komierowo, Skarpi, Sechau, Petznick, Torballamühle and the mill at Soßnow. The villages Klonia and Pantau were aligned with Tuchel and Kamnitz.

The entries of the marriage register from 1794-1832 of Zempelburg are divided into several sections and can be found in the Altpreussische Geschlechterkunde. Neue Folge starting with volume 6 on page 259. The author is Walter Teßmer.
