For the Kingdom of Saxony, the Genealogical Society of Utah was able to microfilm most of the court records.  In the case of Sebnitz, the “Findbuch” is available on film in the International Section of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. In the Library’s catalog at www.familysearch.org  under “place search,” one would enter “Sebnitz” and choose “court records.”  International film 1889315 item 10 indicates the holdings of Sebnitz.  One must then choose a time frame and match it up with film numbers from the FHL catalog where the “Findbuch” was found. The content of Kauf- und Handelsbuch lfd. Nr. 2 of the Amtsgericht Sebnitz, Hainersdorf turns out to be on International film number 2066577.

(By the way, women and minors are able to sell property only with representation through a guardian!)
