In which Evangelical Church in Berlin was Johanna Therese Hedwig Meyer baptized?

Question

On 13 Mar 2024 Leon Endemann wrote on Meyer-24816:

As the Family Search website has no reference to her birth or baptism etc., Johanna Therese Hedwig Meyer's parents place of residence in Berlin as described in her birth registration document No. 3769 dated 30 Jul 1880 (the description of which I find a bit unclear) would be helpful to determine in which Evangelical Church she was baptized.

Answer 1

The library or institutional editions of Ancestry have microfilms of Berlin church records digitized and indexed. I don’t think all, but you might get lucky. You can search at many public libraries or at any Family History Center without a subscription.

Annual indexes for the various Standesamt are available. For District VIIa, see http://www.content.landesarchiv-berlin.de/labsa/pdf/P_Rep_520_0853.pdf

The indexes are in numerical order by letter of the alphabet. So for this record go to the M section, then to #3769. This does not give you the parish or where they lived, but does help verify the entry.

Thank you George for the 1880 index. I did find the number for the birth registered as No. 3769 under M. However, another WikiTree member Bettina Dorweiler has already found Johanna Therese Hedwig Meyer's birth record for me.

I requested her parents' residence address on the birth record to be decyphered/transcribed which will then be a sure indication as to where (in which nearby church) she could have been baptized.
