OSBs may technically be considered "secondary sources", but they can be
more
reliable than the microfilms of the original records which are often
difficult to read and more subject to mistakes in interpretation. The
LDS
films of OF are mostly copies of the duplicates copied from the
originals
which are found in the Staatsarchiv in Aurich. The OSBs were written and

carefully checked by experienced experts working from the much easier to

read originals

What do you believe is in the Staatsarchiv ? Church Records? They are
owned by the churches and they do not like thwm to be copied as I know.

Happy New 2001
