Thanks to Fred, Max, Thomas Adam, Paul near Portland, Carol in Georgia, and others who responded to my posts. I'm going to order some of the Rheinbishofsheim church record films available from my local LDS Family History Center. But first, does anyone know where to enroll in that course all those preacher folks must have been required to take - "Just God Awful Penmanship 101." <gggg> Fortunately, many of the USA 18th & 19th century German Lutheran and Reformed church records from Pennsylvania and Maryland were translated by folks like Frederick Weiser and William Hinke. Yes, Fred, PSU does stand for Penn State and were hoping the men's bubble basketball team gets a NCAA tournament berth this year.
