Are church books for Fockbek on Archion?

I came across a number of profiles, unsourced but connected somewhere.  These profiles are from a GED import with no profile manager.  They are names which I'm hoping could be family from Schleswig-Holstein, all from Fockbek, Rendsburg.  Most are from the late 1700's and early 1800's.  My Great Grandmother supposedly was from Kiel.  I do not have a subscription to Archion, but if the church records are online, I would consider purchasing one.

You can go on Archion and see what church registers have they available. A subscription is not required. If they have the registers you would like to look at you can buy a 30 day pass for 19.90€; this is just over $20. Longer passes are also available, 3 months and 1 yr.

At the moment only the registers for burials (1968-1988) are there for that place.

Could you maybe give us a timeframe of the occurrence you are researching? German parishes tend to shift often so you have to look in neighboring churches and districts as well, depending on the period.

The time frame is mid to late 1700's to early 1800's.  As an example, here is one of the profiles [[Kühl-41|Margaretha Kühl]].  Ancestry has a number of entries with images of church records, mainly baptisms, but I question the reliability as I believe the names are pretty common.
You are correct and some of them are completely puzzled together spanning over each part of Germany. These could only be correct if you can prove that the family lived there but that might be very unlikely if you take the time in context.

Also, you are correct that the name is quite common for this time and place.
