Libraries will want a reference and a circulating copy of this book. Thomas Jay Kemp; GenealogyBank.com Thanks to the Map Guide to German Parish Registers - Grandduchy of Hessen, I found my Great Great Grandfather's Baptism. I had been searching for the parish for 6 years and thanks to Kevan Hansen’s book, I found him. I probably would have found it without the Map Guide, but who knows how many years it would have taken. I can't wait for Hessen-Nassau book to come out. Ginni Morey; Campbell CA Our Genealogy Library is just THRILLED that you have decided to publish this wonderful resource. It is heavily used by the library patrons and they will be excited to know that further volumes will be printed. Tulsa City-County Library; Jan Coffman, Serials |
