Perhaps I can help you narrow down your search. I have many of the church
records from Burg in Suederdithmarschen. If you can tell me who you are
looking for, I will look them up. However, these records only go to the
latter 1800's. So, if you're looking for someone born after that, I won't
have the records. Even if I don't find them, it might narrow your search, a
bit.
