I have tried to find micro-film records at the Family History Library, and have been told they were not filmed? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, Hi Carol: If you are sure that none of the listings at the LDS site for Hanau are what you are looking for, you could e-mail the archives in Hesse, give the name of the town you are interested in, and ask where the church records are located and how they can be researched. For Evangelical records: Central Archive of the Evangelical Church in Hessen and Nassau, in Darmstadt: zentralarchiv@ekhn-kv.de For Catholic records: Bistumsarchiv Fulda: archiv@bistum-fulda.de Diocesan archives in Limburg/Kirchenbucharchiv: i.dommermuth@bistumlimburg.de Paul
