Hello Fellow Listers: Researching in Germany is a whole new area for me and I was hoping some kind soul could point me in the right direction. I am researching the surname SPADEMAN in the UK and have discovered a Frederick SPADEMAN in the USA who gives his place of birth as Schleswig-Holstein, 1825. Where would I begin to search, should I hire a researcher instead, or is this too broad an area? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Happy hunting to the rest of you as well, Sandra Cranston
