Hello Marge, there are several Thiergarten in the area. Thiergarten - Malborn, that would be parish Malborn from 1815 onwards. The next one is Thiergarten - Hermeskeil, that would be the parish Hermeskeil. Another Thiergarten is part of Trier itself, parish Trier St. Matthias. Family History library has a familybook for Hermeskeil, written by Reiner Schmitt. regards, Ursula (Buchholz) I am combing through old records. Does anyone know if Thiergarten had their own church and where would the records be? Thank you, marge -------------------------------
