Pat, I have been researching in Apelern and other small towns in the same area. My ancesters ARE NERGE, SCHROEDER. A german friiend wrote a letter to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Apelern and I received information on the one family. I have since tried to find films but I don't think they the LDS filmed these small towns. I am getting ready to write to them again and to the other towns for information.. Carlene
