David,

Is there any way you could find the title (not the call number)
of this film, or some information about it? Is it a church book?
If so, what is the place?

The number you have won't be much use in a German Family History
Centre, they use exactly the same film numbers as in the US, with
numbers only. What you have is a film number from the
Deutschen Zentralstelle fuer Genealogie, (DZfG) which is now a division
of the Staatsarchiv Leipzig.

You probably can get it from your local FHC, because the Mormons
have copies of most of the DZfG films, the trouble is that without
knowing the title, there is no way to find the film number in the
FHC catalogue.

One thing you might try is contacting the Leipzig Archive, ask
them what the title of this film is, and how much it would cost
for them to send you those two pages. The Leipzig Archive's contact
details are:

Staatsarchiv Leipzig
Schongauerstrasse 1
04329 Leipzig
Germany



I hope this helps,
Good luck!

Paul Rakow
