Re: SCHELLHAMMER; DEU>IA,USA; 1857- Dear Gay: I would write to the : Evangelische Kirchengemeinde inTuebingen Tuebingen Germany As all German Churches keep detailed registries of Births,Marriages and Deaths, most Pastors are used to genealogical inquiries and are usually helpful in providing information. They will also give you copies of birth certificates etc. Good Luck Roger M.
