which ones didn't allow their records to be copied? I can't find a single trace of my people in FamilySearch's IGI. yet he gives his home as Schweigen, Bergzabern, Speyer. of course, if his home is not the same place as his birth, I'm in some trouble...but his children show up as born either in Germany or France, so they should most likely show up in Schweigen, but they aren't in the IGI, either-and I left the search to the whole of Germany, not focusing on any town or state. I haven't looked for everyone in the family, but father, eldest son and youngest daughter don't show up in the IGI. going off to check a few more of the family. any guidence appreciated... Cornelia
