Patrick, I am sorry, I can't answer this question. Since I live over here, I do all my own searching or ask my cousin to help me. And when I need something in the US, I either go home to visit or call and ask my Mother. :-) I travel with a laptop, digital camera and a scanner, everywhere I go, so I can scan pages of old books in churches that have no copy machines! It has been a wonderful way to spend a few years in Europe and see things that I never would have seen otherwise.

I am curious to learn whether Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam or some others would be the most appropriate for searching. With limited funds, I do not know where to spend my money most efficiently.
