You might consider purchasing one of the blue books for her, or one
for
yourself that she could look through. When we visited Germany several
years back,
it was like one of the guide books for us! We visited Krefeld (a
GREAT
museum
there) & climbed to the top of a castle, then went on to
Kaldenkirchen. It
happened to be Good Friday & we found the Catholic church (page 45), asked
directions outside it of two young men, one of whom turned out to be the
son of
the
pastor of the church where our ancestors attended!!!! The
congregation was
coming out of service so we got to enter through the door (page 53), sit
in the
pulpit (page 55) & learn of the location of the tombstones (page
69). We
spent
the rest of the day with the pastor at the church then at his home.
He,
too,
was interested in the history of the area.
Krefeld is a clean city and everyone there was super nice to us.
