For anyone needing to work in the area of the Catholic Diocese of Bamberg. I just finished a short visit there and found they have a very nice little archive. They have most of their diocese churchbooks on fische and the fisches are indexed. It sure made lookups easy. They will do requests by mail, and charge accordingly by the time involved in the search. A basic search will normally cost about 30 DM which at the moment is about $15. If you go there in person they charge by the time you spend in the archive, about 7 DM per day. The staff is very helpful, just make sure you take your Latin dictionary with you. Tim Jachowski
