    1. ZENGEL - LOFFLER - Genealogy research in Bavaria
    2. Janet Zengel Messer
    3. My sister and I will be traveling to Bavaria around the middle of September, and while there we hope to do some research on our great grandparents' families. (They were Henry ZENGEL born c1833 and Katherine Barbara LOEFFLER born c1859.) From Katherine's funeral records, we learned that her father was Peter LOEFFLER of Rollfeld, so we are assuming that my great grandfather was also from that town or a nearby town. We would appreciate any advice anyone can give us for researching the appropriate church and civil records in Rollfeld and/or in Wuerzburg, where I understand the diocese records are kept. How accessible are these records? Is it necessary to make an appointment, or are they open to the public? Also, does anyone know anything about the town of Rollfeld, or any Catholic Churches in or near that town? Finally, any suggestions for "must-see" places in Bavaria? We will be flying in and out of Frankfurt and renting a car. We will have about 8 days for tourism and family tree research. Thank you! Best regards, Janet Zengel Messer Micanopy, Florida USA
