Lynette, The best way to start is to supply the details of the people you suspect were from the Trier area: full names and dates. Someone MAY have them in their database (chances: slim to none). If someone else is researching the family or if the village's records have been extracted, that information will be in the LDS Files at FamilySearch or on the LDS Vital Record CDs.
