The Pfalz was also known as Rhenish Bavaria. the classification is as of 1871 and thereafters. That is why my entries in IGI listed Rheinland, Prussia before 1871 and Rheinland, Germany afterwards, while the LDS FHL catalog list the records as of 1871 throughout. For Bavaria areas, it would show simply as Germany, Bayern, Gonnheim and those that were part of Kingdom of Prussia, will show as Germany, Preussen, Rheinland, Britten. W.
