I have found references to Familienbuchs in the Eschelbach (A. Sinsheim) church records for several directly-related families, especially around the 1870s. Some of the references are F.B. 128, 215, 170 and 70. I know basically what these Family Books are, but not how to locate them. Nothing available through LDS. This was something compiled by the church, correct? So where would I find someone with access to this old book - the archives in Sinsheim? in the Eschelbach Rathaus? The local Eschelbach church? Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Carol, I also meant to add that my wife and I will be in Sinsheim this April, using the Stadt Museum archives, working with Herr Holger and his staff. Please let me know if there is anything I can look up for you.

Carol, Blow are the Eschelbach films that are available on line that I mentioned in an earlier post. These, and many, many more, are available under the heading: "Amtsgerichtsbezirk Sinsheim". These 7 films are the same ones that you can get from your local LDS but these can be read at home.

Carol, they are called "Familienregister" normally. For protestant churchbooks search here http://www.ekiba.de/html/content/familienforschung808.html (Baden) http://www.archiv.elk-wue.de/kirchenbuchdatenbank/ (Wuerttemberg) You can find a general introduction into the archive here http://www.archiv.elk-wue.de/family-research/ Good luck!
