Recommendations:

 * 1) Prior to 1871, Germany consisted of many countries which united in 1871. Records were kept or organized by these countries/states. Here you will search Rheinland-Palatinate state records.
 * 2) Next, if you have not done so, search the Germany Online Genealogy Records for a country-wide record search for Germany.
