All church books in the Schleiz area are in the process of being microfilmed by the EKMD (Evangelical Church in Middle Germany) in Eisenach. When the filming is completed sometime in 2011, the books will be returned to their original churches. Milcrofilmed records will then be accessible through Eisenach, see: [http://archive.ekmd-online.de/portal/archive/3-archiv-eisenach/ archive.ekmd-online.de/portal/archive/3-archiv-eisenach/] | |||
