Since you're posting on the Prussia list, are you certain the church you want is Catholic? A majority of churches in Prussia were Evangelical . . . Have you tried looking up "Neunkirchen bei Reitburg" in Meyer's Orts? That will tell you for certain if there were Catholic churches in the area as well as where the civil records were kept for the town. > Does anyone have a photo of the town square or prominent attraction? Have you tried Googling "Neunkirchen bei Reitburg?" In the German version of Google? Good luck, LGO
