Hello List, My g g grandfather was born in Hesse Darmstadt in 1827, according to the census. I have exhausted every resource I can think of to figure out who his parents might be. I am wondering if anyone has knowledge of how to obtain records from Germany, and where I might write to for this region? I know I could use LDS records, but I would like to learn how to find records in Germany. I would appreciate any advice!
