There are Family History Centers all over the world...check your local
phone directory.. If it doesn't list the Family History Center, look
under Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...call any of the #s
until you find someone who can tell you where the nearest FHC is.
Good luck!
Also...from the familysearch.org site, you can find a place with the
email address for the FH dept., and you can ask them where your nearest
FHC may be.

Looking for Perschbacher, Gerstenschläger in Hesse-Darmstadt, and
Leeker/Luker in Hannover.
