Hi, friends, I wanted to share a very interesting German index with you that is new to me: International Genealogical Index (IGI) entries (at Familysearch.org) sorted by German Town Names (Batch Numbers) - http://igi.wahler.org/ Click on the British flag and it takes you to a version of the index with enough English to get you around. This index will link you to IGI Batch number entries by town, which is eye-opening if you are researching several families in a known German location.
