The most important part of going to these areas is to communicate with the
pastors of the various churches, so you can see the records.
I did my trip with little advance planning because of lack of time. We had
AAA help us, but I believe you could do it on the internet. We did have a
guide because we did not speak German. Do not go on a weekend or a holiday.
Remember that most pastors have more than one church.
