Barbara, You can try here: http://www.online-ofb.de/ This site offers local church and civil records online. There are a few from Hessen. http://gedbas.genealogy.net/ is a site that has a compilation of family trees. You should probably expand the spelling to include Frohlich and Fröhlich (Froehlich). Good luck!
