There are several tools for finding places on the internet. The one I like best is ShtetlSeeker (http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm), because it gives many posible variations of the place name. Another is GeoServ (http://www.genealogienetz.de/gene/misc/geoserv.html). They both are useful. ShtetlSeeker will lead you to a scalable map. The map seems to indicate that Amerbach is not in the Pfalz region. GeoServ will tell you where the place is. GeoServ says: Amerbach Part of: Wemding GKZ : 09 7 79 228 County : | | +---- Donau-Ries (Donauwörth) {DON} RegBez : | +------- Schwaben Land : +--------- Bayern ZIP : 86650 Popul : 404 Locat : (Wemding) 48d53m N 10d43m E Maps : TK25 7130 Wemding TK50 L7130 Treuchtlingen Euro Le55 This place is not in the Pfalz, but in Bavaria proper. You would be better served by subscribing to the Bavarian mail list to continuing your research (http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/DEU/BAVARIA.html). BTW, there does not appear to be any microfilm records in the LDS Family History Library for Amerbach. -- Please use this address until further notice mailto:fhheld@netzero.net _______________________________________________ Why pay for something you could get for free?
