Fred, You are correct, but the records of those three towns are included with the Merlebach records that I have. Are you suggesting that I should also post this to another list? If so, any suggestions will be appreciated.

Only Merlebach is in Lorraine. There are ortssippenbuchen published and available on microfilm from any local LDS Family History Center: Karlsbrunn ("Die Einwohner von Karlsbrunn von 1717-1900," by Otto Treinen and Werner Weiter (LDS microfilm 1859089 Item 1)), Naßweiler ("Die Einwohner von Naßweiler von 1608-1900," by Otto Treinen and Werner Weiter (LDS microfilm 1858641 Item 7 )), and Sankt Nikolaus ("Die Einwohner von St. Nikolaus von 1696-1900," by Otto Treinen and Werner Weiter (LDS microfilm 1858641 Item 6)). Merlebach also has an OSB, but it is not available on microfilm from the LDS. Other villages in that area also have OSBs including: Alte Glashütte (Vieille Verrerie ), Ludweiler, Petite-Rosselle (Kleinrosseln), Großrosseln, Forbach. and Werbeln.

Frank, It is unlikely that OSB contains the same people as the OSBs for the individual villages. Some of those villages are Evangelische (Lutheran), some are Reformed (Calvinists- AKA Presbyterian), and some are Huguenot, and would not contain many Catholics. It is possible the Merlebach OSB contains the few Catholics from the Evangelische village of Karlsbrunn (if any), but the Evangelische members would only be in the Karlsbrunn OSB. I happen to have the Karlsbrunn OSB. It has 591 families from Maria Catharine Adam to Conrad Zitterkopf, and includes the ancestral family of US President "Ike" Eisenhower. I also have the Kleinrosseln, Großrosseln, Ludweiler, and Werbeln OSBs, because my wife's family was from all those villages.
