Recent circumstances will find me in Germany in May, a year sooner than I had planned. Therefore I need to try to find information as soon as possible. Does anyone know where in Munich one would go to look up vital statistics of births and marriages? Where is the main Catholic church which would have church records available? Are there city directories for Munich and where would they be housed? Thanks for any info you may have! Valera D'Esopo valeraeliz@cs.com

Hi, I'm looking for ancestors of Johannes Karl Thalmayr who was born 24 Mar 1871 in or near Munich. Father was also Johannes Karl and mother Wilhelmena. Anyone researching surname Thalmayr in Bavaria? Dennis

Amanda, I think it should be Bayern, the German name for Bavaria. I show nothing like Baizen in my German map book. Of course, you need to find the town now, as Bayern/Bavaria covers a lot of territory. Look in church marriage records, also baptizm records, where I found the town of my ancestors, also in Bayern.

Would Waldfischbach have been a place too far from a border town in Alsace (I do not have the name of a town in Alsace) to have gone as an unwed mother. OR would this not have been done in 1870's? I found the name of a Marie Muller (perhaps my grgrgrandmother) baptising a baby, also named Marie Muller-- no father's name given in familysearch LDS Site. Date Feb 3 1872. If I order the film 0400558 will it likely give any more info. Just hate the wait!!! but than who doesn't? If someone has access to these records... Please give a look-see. Many thanks.. Florence NJ

Pfaffendorf belongs to the parish of Pfarrweisach today, and to the bishopric of Wuerzburg. There are many records microfilmed in Wuerzburg, but as far as I know, the books of this region are only available in the parish. So better you send a letter directly to Pfarrweisach-Pfaffendorf.

One of my husband's ancestors, Catherine, came to Texas from Bavaria between 1842 and March of 1846 with her daughter, Mary Ann. Her name appeared on a marriage license in Texas as Catherine Stooken. Years later Mary Ann Stooken appeared as Mary Ann Stokes. Does anyone have any ideas as to a correct spelling for that Bavarian name, Stooken. Also, is it possible Stokes would have been the name coming from Germany? Re: Baizen: Bayern was spelled Bion on the census info for Catherine. Couldn't find that one on the map either. Names were spelled just like they sounded. Thanks, Linda

Securing passport in 1912. My grandmother born in Memmingen, Bavaria married to a Swiss in Switzerland and subsequently divorced but still living in Switzerland. As far as documents for naturalization in US, she was a German citizen. Upon coming to the US where would she apply for a permit? Could she go anywhere in Bavaria or did she need to go to Memmingen or Munich? Is there anyone whith knowledge on this? Thank you for your help. Claire

Baizen could very well be Baiern, an old German spelling of Bayern or Bavaria.
