These are all supposed birth locations for my great-great grandfathers family (unsure of accuracy). The church records for zorndorf were destroyed so I'm looking for a different way to verify family ties. Are there any researchers near the former zorndorf? An email address for a point of contact for any of these locations may be helpful as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
My main target is my great great grandfather Emil Ernst Buchholz born 23 Apr 1879 birth location possibly zorndorf. I've no clue about his parents but one document indicated he was named after his grandfather. The only other clues are DNA relations from Johann Carl Ludwig Buchholz 28 Mar 1828 (Brandenburg )and Johanne Foersterling 31 Aug 1832 (Brandenburg)b(birth locations and parents unknown) children were Carl E Julius Buchholz 24 Oct 1867 zorndorf, Louise Charlotte Buchholz 26 Dec 1867, Max Otto Buchholz 23 may 1875 and Wilhelm Friedrich Buchholz 9 May 1871.
All parties emigrated to the United States about 1885.
