Hi Laura, thank you for the suggestions. Will see if I can find anything new. Have used several German genealogy sites over the years and found very little on the Wurttemberg families the Fox/Fuchs and Fishers, had just a little better luck with my Rhineland-Pfalz families, Graeff and Gintz. Again I appreciate your time and the good ideas. Thank you.

I would like to report that I also have had great luck with Geneanet. - the free version! Thru it I recently located a 7th cousin 1x removed who took my Giffels family back to the early 1600's in Wadenheim, Ahrweiler, Rheinland-Pfalz, Prussia. I was ecstatic! She doesn't speak a lot of English, so I have utilized Google Translate to send her my messages in German. We have done okay by this method! Good luck!
