I have found through a book by J. Mergen that a family named Ries, Christian lived in the Rockershausen area in the year of 1837 arriving in the USA in 1847. Can anyone direct me as to the location of records from this village? The Family History Center has records of Saarbrucken would this area be included in these records. I am very much a novice in this area and can only tell that they were miners from that area. Anyone having any knowledge of the area or can direct me would be very helpful. Thank you, Joan
