This is the first I have heard about a Maria Fleig. do you have addition (Birth Death) information?

 

Thanks for all the help

Answer 1

Best bet would be church books. During the Napoleonic time Sachsen was aligned with France and may have had civil registers but right around 1815 Wittenberg and parts of Sachsen became Prussian and Prussia didn't start civil registration until the 1870's. The protestant parish office for the city is at

Evangelische Stadtkirchengemeinde Wittenberg
Jüdenstraße 36 • 06886 Lutherstadt Wittenberg
Tel.: (0 34 91) 6283-0 • Fax: (03491) 6283-11
