Vera - I am not the greatest at research and depend a lot on the list Angels for help. Thus - I am willing to assist on your request as I have a lot of information that was forewarned to my Grandfather for our region of Grafenberg, NT., RT., De. including help from someone with the Stuttgart Church archives by way of Angels in Germany and would be happy to return the FREE help to you.

While I absolutely agree that an hourly rate of 70 Euros is mostly unacceptable why don't you contact the archive in Kassel, holding the microfilmed church books for your parish of interest, directly? Their charges are 18 Euros per half hour plus 1.50 Euro per record copy. Or why don't you simply join a German mailing list for Hessen and ask for help there? As an aside... regarding the postcard showing houses of Rockensuess and whether those still exist: Try to contact Edith and Eberhard Auerswald in Cornberg-Rockensuess and I am sure they can help you.

That's kind of a very bitter statement to which I can't agree at all. I am really sorry. I for one am one of those "hungry Germans" looking for roots of their ancestors in the US and was recently confronted with an estimate of costs from an American archive for 1 record for 150 (!!) Dollars.
