Facts |
In 1476 a treaty decided that Schleswig and Holstein never should be divided.
Schleswig turned Protestant in 1533 and Holstein in 1542. Starting in 1646 the churches were required to record births, marriages and deaths. The Family History Library has not been able to film these books.
The Reformation had no effect in the rural areas of West Prussia and remained Catholic. |
