Hi Fat Cat!
Does any one know if there is an Ortsippenbuch for Esperke? Thank you.
Fat Cat
88 "Ortsfamilienbuecher" (that's like Ortssippenbuecher) with 1.200.000 persons do you find under:
www.online-ofb.de
Guenther Schweizer published (in the internet) in 1997 a list of many books under the title "Ortssippenbuecher und Familienbuecher".
Didn't find Esperke in this list.
Maybe that he updated the list. Have a look!!
Be cautious! Fat cats are an easy prey of speedy dogs!!
