I would strongly suggest that you order the microfilm which is listed as the source for the marriage of Maria Heimbach and Johann Uhrhan. The records in Zulpich are filmed and go back to 1682. Not all the records are in the IGI. It is also my experience in German records that more information is given in the actual record than is given in the IGI. There's a chance the marriage entry would give the parents' names for both the bride and groom and possibly the residence of each. If both families were in Zulpich, you could go back at least another generation with the records that are filmed. Pam pamw2@fuse.net http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Woods/6771/
