Dear Pfalz List, I leave for Germany next month. During the first part of my trip in Rheinland-Pfalz I plan to visit the "Verbandsgemeinde Gau-Algesheim," in Gau-Algesheim and "Evabgekuscges Pfarramt Appenheim" in Appenheim to research my Klippel line. I also plan to make a trip to Darmstadt to visit the "Hessische Staatsarchiv Darmstadt." I will spend time in Ober Hilbersheim and Bubenheim where my Klippels came from and try to contact the two Klippel families in Ober Hilbersheim while there. I have sent several letters to them in the past but never have received a reply. Has anyone had experience with any of these places, and if so, can you give me some advice. Since this is my first trip to mainland Europe I could also use some traveling tips and advice. Thanks for anything you would care to share. Denzil Klippel
