Hi Betty,

I noted you mentioned the church of Mrotschen, my grandmother Bertha
RISTAU was born there in 1862. Her father was Carl RISTAU and her mother
was Juliane KLATT. I am wondering if you found your Mrotschen info on a
LDS film and is you would be so kind as to sent me the number from it,
I'd greatly appreciate it.

I am also interested in making contact with any others searching this
family.

Thanks,
Marlene Cichy
