     The 15th August 1758 was a black day for the citizens of Küstrin. The Russians pointed their canons on the city and by eventide everything was in ruins. With such destruction one should think that most records were completely destroyed, but this was not so. The city parish only started with church records beginning in 1758 and from the time before, the records of the city administration are a good source to identify citizens and their origins. This work was done by Kurt Meyerding de Ahna and published in ''Archiv für Sippenforschung ''14. Jahrgang, Heft 2 (1937), starting with page 204.
