Kathi: Thank you, I've been working on my database for 20 years and with the contributions of other researchers, it has grown a bit. I don't have separate databases for different towns, it is all one database. I only input a family if I can find an existing connection to someone already in my database, so it is one very big, complex family tree of everyone living in the Goeppingen area. I have never researched with the Lauffen records, but I do have about 140 people in my database that have Lauffen connections. The easiest way to look at them is to go to my WorldConnect page, scroll down to the bottom and click on "WorldConnect Global Search". In the search screen, put Lauffen in the birth place box. Leave the other boxes blank, and it will bring up everyone born in Lauffen. As you look at names, you can narrow down the results by using the "skip database" box. If you look to the right of the screen, you will see the names of databases. If you decide that you don't have any connections with a certain database, you can copy and paste the name of the database in the "skip database" box (leave a space between each database name). That will narrow down your search. I always put the name of my database in the box because I don't want to look at people in my database. You can also use the "updated within" box to only look at databases updated within a certain time frame.

Am I correct ? If so, have you created databases for this area as well ? I'd be very interested to know. Great job on the Goeppingern area databases.
