Ferdinand Harless, David Preisch are buried in Offenbach and Billingheim Their children married and moved to America on their Honeymoon in1738. Preisch family was Catholic and Harless was Lutheran. Germersheim, Offenbach, Billingheim, Muhlhofen I will be in this area May 11th searching for the Church Cemeteries to take pictures. Have been advised by the members of this Web Site that I will be unable to locate any graves. I have learned more since I have joined PFALZ than any other - ever! (just one example of good advice) I have asked so many questions and have received so many "great answers". Proves our German blood is still good today in helping one another. If anyone knows of any books, maps, brochures while in this area, please let me know before Sunday. I would be most gratefull. Regards, Georgia Hornbuckle Dallas, TX 02 May 00
