HI, Want to pass on the praise for the German Research Companion book. Just received one for our local genealogical society. We had Dr. George Schweitzer's German Research book, that is excellent, but after seeing this book advertised, our society ordered the book. It being 3 times larger, has that much more data. Would recommend anyone purchase the book. Thru the Pfalz, Bavaria, Hesse, Trier lists I have learned far more than I had ever hoped on family research. Am attempting to have other society members dip their feet in the overseas research. Nothing but praise for all of the above data sources. Mary Widener
