I hire a couple of microfilms from the local LDS, especially for the older census'. Costs 6€ a throw, but you usually get a couple of census per film.

If its only single requests, the local library usually obliges, or the county archives and for me, best of all the LLGC in Aberystwyth for enquiries in Wales. Not only for census though, also for Parish records and allsorts of wierd and wonderful things.

Hi D ap D,

I hire a couple of microfilms from the local LDS, ...

Does this mean "local" as in "my local S. German LDS"  ??

If it does, then that would also be an option for me, in Berlin.

Hi Bob,

yes, theres one in Stuttgart, about 10 mins from where I'm based and a few others dotted around.

Just had a look at the LDS site. There is one in Berlin:

Berlin Germany
Klingelhöfer Straße 24
Berlin, Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Phone: 49-30-25794336
Hours: Wed, Thurs 14:00-20:00; F 16:00-20:00; Sat 9:00-13:00

Otherwise, on the LDS homepage, go to "Library", then "family history centers" and choose the country/city you want.

Unfortunately, there are none where I am at the moment  :'(
