Hi Dion, There are films of both Lutheran and Roman Catholic parishes in Obergimpern available via your local Family History Library. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localitysearch&columns=*,0,0 The above link should take you to the web page to look at the films. This is the place search page, in the FHL (www.familysearch.org) library catalog. If that's not clear, let me know and I'll walk you through it in more detail. Regards, Paul in Portland, Oregon ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------- From: "Dion Detterer" <diond@exemail.com.au> Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 5:50 PM To: <BADEN-WURTTEMBERG@rootsweb.com> Subject: [BW] Detterer/Dederer, 17th/18th century > Hi all, > > I've been researching my surname and lineage.
