When I go to SLC I just have one page to find and that would be the German record of Zeilbach of their citizens who applied to immigrate after 1846--page 2 ended with my 2nd great-grandparents. I will take what I have with me. I'm hoping to find when the rest of my great-grandfather Conrad Hetrick and his wife Anna Maria "Nancy" Upphold applied to emigrate. It would have had to have happened after 1854 but before 1861 as their first born (Charles Conrad) was born in 1860 in MD. The record gives the parents' names of those emigrating. Would be a wonderful find . . . then maybe from there I can find the rest of Nancy's family from Bavaria. I presently only have the name of her sister Margarethe Eisner and her daughter Johanna (looks like a combination of Johann and Anna) Hmmmm.

Hi Lois: I think if you go to the LDS web site you'll find their catalog of microfilmed records on line, or it used to be. You may be able to find the film in their catalog, go to a local Family History Center (if you have one near you), place an order for the film for maybe $4, and view it there at the Family History Center. Easier yet, just go there and ask a volunteer to check the catalog for you. Most of their film readers have printers attached, so you can get a hardcopy. When it comes to films of the nature you're talking about, be prepared to (possibly) spend several hours looking for what you are interested in. Typically, one film can hold records from several different churches, all of it in the old German script, so sometimes it can take a while.
