Elizabeth - I personally extracted my records from the LDS films of areas of Baden and Mecklenburg; however the FamilySearch site now has quite a number of these records online and I can find my people in them. The records also list the LDS film number from which the record was extracted. Click on the "Learn More" link to see what areas are covered.

On the FamilySearch webpages, church extractions have helped me get back to the 1670s. Use caution.
