All re; ancestry international A lot is a function of what the countries have released. There are some German and French records on ancestry - just maybe not from your area. I found a city digest from Berlin that had a Hullinghorst who eventually went to England. Just doing a search may not get you where you want to be by giving you so many extraneous names. Sometines you need to look at the catalog and browse an item. Sometimes you just have to go back to the microfilms and not rely on what is indexed and what isn't or how accurate the index might be. The person doing the index is interpreting handwritten documents so you are at the mercy of the person's interpretation. Also it is my experience that even the LDS has not indexed names from many parts of the European contries yet they do have the microfilms available. Right now I am looking at microfilms for Liepvre, in France. These are not indexed but the records are available. Also, in looking at Baden chruch records for my family, I cannot make out anything from the handwriting.
