My attempts to peruse these records were all not that sucessful as the Priest spoke no English and we could not find a translator. I now find I have a neighbor who's sister lives in Phaffenhove and I hope she will be abel to do some research for me. I believe that Eva married our Great Grand Father Michael Kobold in 18 56 in the small church in Schmedhaussen.( now closed) They lived at Number 7 in Schmedhausen untill they immagrated to the US. Number 7 remained the Kobold family farm untill 1930ish. The records are unclear. Reno Kobold, Satellite Beach father
