I just got started in genealogy and was doing fairly well until I got my first link back to Germany. I found a reference to the marriage of my gggrandfather/mother and have no idea what to do next. I have these two pieces of information. 1 Caspar Spitzner married Barbara Schumacher - 29 Dec 1831 Civil, Hohenollen, Pfalz, Bayern 2. Caspar Spitzner married Barbara Schumacher - 1 Jan 1832 Evangelisch, Einoellen, Pfalz, Bayern I assume one is a civil ceremony and the other was in a church. Several questions. First where did these marriages occur - is Hohenollen a town, Pfaz a county or district - Bayern was a country at that time I believe. Second - is there an url that I can use to search German/Bavarian sites? Third - how do I go about getting copies of these documents. I would appreciate being pointed to a site that will help find my way around Germany as I think I have other branches headed there also Thank you Everett Spitzner Retired Gentleman of Leisure PADI Certified Open Water Scuba Diver everettspitzner@mediaone.net 630 627 1273
