Diana, ShtetlSeeker shows there are 8 villages with names similar to Weisenback in Germany: Weisenbach/Weißenbach/Weissenbach. Only 2 are in Baden (Black Forest) and both are spelled Weisenbach. Only one is in the online LDS Family History Library catalog. These records are microfilmed and can be rented at your local LDS Family History Center. ================= Kirchenbuch, 1580-1966 Katholische Kirche Weisenbach (A. Rastatt) (Main Author) Parish register of Weisenbach and vicinity, Reichental, Au (Rastatt), Langenbrandt, Au im Murgtal. Baptisms, marriages, deaths, family book. ================= Note: The village records of the other one may also be microfilmed, but it will require a catalog search of each local village to see if one references Weisenbach. BTW, when making a query on a regional mail list it is expected that the information will be exclusively relating to that region. I have clipped your message to that information.
