I recently found a genealogical researcher who does work in the Rheinland-Pfalz area. He found three generations of my family, replete with birth certificates, marriage and death certificates. Also found the cemetery in which they were buried and sent me photos. Although he is german, he communicates quite well. Initially he did, at no charge, a preliminary search to determine what might be available and where. He gave me an estimate as to the time he thought he might require to do the search. After the initial search I asked him to secure additional records. He kept me informed by email as to what he was doing and what he had found. He is quite nice to work with and very honest and hard working. If anyone is interested in securing the services of a researcher in this area, please contact me at Aparkplace@aol.com. Barbara
