Hi Russ, for genealogical information please visit http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/Sinsheim You will find a list of "Kirchenbuch-Bearbeitungen" in the area and there is an address. They should be able to help you. It would be helpful if you mentioned the full name of the emigrant and the year of departure. Or: http://www.heimatverein-kraichgau.de/ If this does not work, you could contact the association for Baden-Wuerttemberg: Verein für Familien- und Wappenkunde in Württemberg und Baden e.V. http://www.vfwkwb.org They can ask their members if there is someone working with Sinsheim files at the moment. Good luck and have a nice trip!
