I...Elderyogini, it's great to hear from you. I'm very sorry I hadn't seen your comment until today, and so I hadn't replied to your question about Waldmünchen. One recommendation I think I'd make is that if you want to see the parish records, you might want to contact the parish priest ahead of time to get permission. Otherwise, I think there are parish-level and diocesan-level records in Regensburg. We did some research in the archives there. I think there may be a small fee for researching in the archives in Regensburg. In general, we've found that accessing the Catholic records of Bavaria is harder than accessing Catholic records in the rest of Germany. If you haven't traveled to Waldmünchen yet, I wish you a good trip. The Oberpfalz is a beautiful area of Germany.William D.

I could imagine the ...William, your blog is lovely! I could imagine the Mass through your beautiful writing. My daughter and I experienced Corpus Christi celebrations in rural Poland (where my maternal ancestors originate)last year and the German version sounds very familiar. <br /><br />I appreciate these posts about your time in Waldmunchen and visiting with historian Georg Ederer. I am descended from Ruhlands who came from Waldmunchen and settled in Buffalo NY. Next June I am planning to visit Waldmunchen and hope to meet some cousins, see the original records, and learn the culture of the area. <br /><br />Wondering if you have any recommendations?elderyoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711881655151066875noreply@blogger.com
