Hi Ken, Thanks for the posting of the batch number for Lobsens Parish
christening records.

When scanning I can only get to record number 3,244 and up to "Herrig" and
then it won't scan any further. I find scanning so useful for catching
variations in spelling. Do you know any methods for continuing to scan?
