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? Hi Leslie: If you are looking for Evangelical church records, try sending an e-mail to the Central Archive of the Evangelical Church in Hessen and Nassau, Darmstadt: zentralarchiv@ekhn-kv.de If you need the Catholic records, try the diocesan archive in Limburg: BistumLimburg@t-online-de. If the records are not housed here, the staff should be able to tell you whom to contact. Paul C. Miller
