Leslie, You wrote: "Two of my great-grandparents came from Hessen-Darmstadt, Starkenburg in the period 1865-1890, one from Ober Kinzig and the other from Erbach. I can't find any LDS microfilms for these two areas. Does anyone know of any source I can use to find the records for these two families? The VOLK family came from Ober Kinzig and the SEIFERT family came from Erbach." My ancestors emigrated from Erbach also. This is Erbach in Odenwald in Kries Erbach. Using www.familysearch.com LDS Family History Library, enter Erbach, Hessen. From the list given, select Erbach, Kries Erbach. Topic Germany, Hessen, Erbach (KrSt. Erbach) - Church records Titles Kirchenbuch, 1600-1875 Evangelische Kirche Erbach (KrSt. Erbach) Kirchenbuchduplikat, 1808-1847 Evangelische Kirche Erbach (KrSt. Erbach) Kirchenbuchduplikat, 1836-1875 Katholische Kirche Erbach (KrSt. Erbach) I used the Church Book, Kirchenbuch 1600-1875 and found all of them in films including Baptisms, Marriages, Confirmations & Deaths. If your family was Catholic, then you have a smaller range of years, but still within the range you are looking for. Good Luck. Carolyn
