The first is a history of Oberöwisheim, the second the town genealogy book. You should be able to get them on interlibrary loan, at least the first one. 1200 Jahre Oberöwisheim: jetzt Stadtteil von Kraichtal (Kreis Karlsruhe): das Ortsbuch von Oberöwisheim: 771-1971, by Heinz Erich Walter. (Ludwigsburg: Walter, 1973). Ortssippenbuch Oberöwisheim-Neuenbürg, Stadtteile von Kraichtal, Landkreis Karlsruhe, Deutsche Ortssippenbücher. Reihe A Bd. 203, Badische Ortssippenbücher Bd. 72, by Karl Diefenbach & Klaus Rössler, (Lahr-Dinglingen: Interessengemeinschaft Badischer Ortssippenbücher, 1995) Hope this helps. -- =Jim Eggert EggertJ@crosswinds.net
