Norm, Thanks for the response. This finally has helped me to pinpoint the location and gives me some idea of where to begin looking for information. I looked up the Oberdiebach website and it does include pictures of Winzberg. I've also sent an email to the institut.bv-pfalz.de and will see if I can get any information that way. If not I'll see if I can find out anything through the church records. Thanks again, Emma >Emma, > >I find a Winzberg that is now part of Oberdiebach (zipcode 55413) in >the state of Rheinland-Pfalz, part of which used to be Bavarian.
