Hi Martha, The Pirmasens Genealogical Study Group is a very friendly and helpful group of people who have a very informative web page at this URL: http://home.t-online.de/home/braun.b/geneengl.html Also, the LDS has microfilmed most church records and some family books in the Pirmasens area. Good luck in your research. Janice Danks The Engelbachs wrote: > Grüss aux Iowa-USA > > I have just found out that the area of my ancestral origins is in the Homburg, Zweibrücken, and Pirmasens area.
