Michael, You were not specific about which direction you wanted information. I have to assume you are wanting to research further back, because the US part of the family is pretty easy to trace. Rems-Murr-Kreis is a very modern designation. In addition, ShtetlSeeker shows Remshalden as an "administrative division," which could mean it's a modern designation of a group of villages for administration reasons. In a listing of the villages of the Kingdom of Würtemberg and their associated oberamt (OA. = "county seat") Rohrbronn is shown was serviced by the OA. Schorndorf in the period of interest to you. (List is no longer available on the web.) For some unknown reason the records for Rohrbronn are not listed in the online LDS Family History Library catalog, even though all the villages around them are listed. I suspect they are filed with a nearby village. The two closest villages that do have their records microfilmed are Geradstetten (.8 miles W) and Hößlinswart (1.2 miles N). I would start by visiting my local LDS Family History Center and renting those microfilms to look for your family. That is, unless some on the list knows exactly where the Rohrbronn records can be found.
