Janet, I have the marriage registers through 1903 and the index on 2 films through 1936. Many of my family came from Steinfield and the Recklinghausen area. Also from Schmittshausen and then migrated to Alsace. I have ordered in all the German films available and most written in Latin. German is a very difficult language. I was at the LDS library so much they asked me to volunteer to be a librarian so I go twice a month. About half of us are not Mormom. It can be intimadating but everybody is usually very helpful. Regards, Sarah
