German Records - Birstein

[markyb74]

Hi,

According to the British census one of my Ancestors (Karl Mitchell) was born in the town of Birstein in Germany in around 1828. I cannot seem to find any records for that area. Does anyone know if it is possible to get a birth certificate/baptism record from that period and how to go about it?

Regards,
