Hi Bob, Are you certain that Catharina's parents were Henry MOOTZ and Rachel HUBER? If so, I would recommend that you find the nearest Family History Center (Mormon LDS Church) where you can order this microfilm and research the family yourself. If this is indeed your ancestor, the on-line catalog (www.familysearch.org) shows this record can be found on microfilm# 0400385 which is a Churchbook from the Roman Catholic Church of Annweiler, Bavaria, Germany. Also, whenever searching for a place name in Germany, send an e-mail to geo@genealogy.net with nothing but the name of the town/county,etc in the body of the message. You will get results such as this: Prefix: Annweiler Annweiler (am Trifels) GKZ : 07 3 37 501 County : | | +---- Südliche Weinstraße (Landau) {SÜW} RegBez : | +------- Rheinhessen-Pfalz Land : +--------- Rheinland-Pfalz ZIP : 76855 Popul : 6870 Locat : 49d12m N 7d58m E Maps : TK25 6813 Bad Bergzabern TK50 L6912 Bad Bergzabern Euro Hf53 The first line gives the official name, with an added description to distinguish it from other places with the same name. If the place is now part of another town or village this is given in the second line. GKZ (Gemeindekennziffer) is a number assigned to all municipalities County(Kreis) gives the County name and the County's automobile license plate designator. Some larger towns are not part of a county, they are 'kreisfrei' RegBez (Regierungsbezirk) is another administrative unit, usually consisting of several counties. Not all Lands are divided into Regierungsbezirke. Land is one of the sixteen federal states which make up the Federal Republic of Germany. ZIP is the new German postal code consisting of 5 digits. If you want to write to the Standesamt or Church usually the ZIP code is enough. For larger towns you'll get a range of ZIPs or the last digit(s) as ?. To get the correct ZIP you need also the street or mailbox number. Popul gives the number of inhabitants as of 1989. See http://www.genealogy.net/gene/ for more information. Good Luck in your search!
