Thanks a lot, Marcella! Your name shall go into the Halls of Fame of the Bavarian Genealogy :-)) A possible sample: http://www2.genealogy.net/gene/faqs/sgg.html probably much too big for a beginner and too extensive for everyday work.... A downsized, special Bavarian version would surely do... Suggestion for the first step: Can everybody on the list send her the URLs of the various maps, location finders etc.? here, what I find quickly on my "treasure board": http://users.rootsweb.com/~deuhes/Hessen/towns.htm (in English) http://www.genealogy.net/cg/govlinks.htm (in German) both are lists with many sites of maps etc. The Hessen site would need some adjustment for the Bavarian content in the next phase.... Maps: http://www.erzbistum-muenchen.de/suchmaschine/landkarte.asp?searchp a nice searchable map of arch diocese Munich-Freising (in German) to find addresses of parish administrations. There was somewhere another one for diocese Eichstätt. I'll mail it, when I find it again.... So far for the beginning once more: Thanks, Marcella!
