Linnell. At first blush "The Odenheim Family Book" by Klaus Rössler would be about the Odenheim family. It is actually about the families of the village of Odenheim. It is what is usually called an ortfamillienbuch (OFB) or an ortssippenbuch (OSB). The online LDS Family History Library catalog shows they have a copy, but, unfortunately, it is not on microfilm, so it cannot be rented at your local LDS Family History Center. You can only see their copy in the FHL in Salt Lake City. ====================== Familienbuch (Ortssippenbuch) von Odenheim (Landkreis Karlsruhe) Rössler, Klaus (Main Author) Family lineages for Odenheim, Baden. ====================== The village records that it is based on are on microfilm and can be rented. ====================== Kirchenbuch, 1661-1962 Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche Elsenz (A.
