Do I write in English ? Well, if you want to get absolutely sure that the Germans will understand you, write in German. You don't understand/write/speak German? No problem at all! :-) On http://www.uni-giessen.de/~gk72/trans.html or http://www.genealogy.com you will find information about a volunteer translation service which is free for genealogists. > Is there a fee involved ? That's different from town to town. Ask them when writing. > What kind of info could I expect to get from the church itself ? The same as on the address mentioned above. -- Best regards/Gruss, Johannes Sempert Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards as progress.
