You should write to the Catholic Church office of Elsoff to ask for records: Pfarramt Kirchstrasse 15 D-56479 Elsoff Btw, on http://www.teleauskunft.de (German White Pages) you will find some Seelbach entries listed in Elsoff. I am sure that the surname of Selbach was Americanized when John Selbach emigrated to the US. -- Best regards/Gruss, Johannes Sempert Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards as progress.
