Places to check:
1. Many church books recorded the hometowns of their parishoners, so check the old church
book there.
2. Family histories: check with any family members for either oral histories or family
bibles from the immigrant era.
3. Emigration records: The Hesse Hadis online files have some emigration records. I found
one set of ancestors' emigration records out of Germany there.
4. Census records: on the last census of my great grandfather, he listed by name the
hometown of his immigrant mother.
5. Failing all of that, see if you can find their arrival records in the 30 volume set of
"Germans to America" that matches up to these ancestors. It might have the
hometown listed.
