For all DUers who need help with German/Bavarian genealogy I found a great site by accident [View all]

It's called Birkenhordt das Projekt. I had googled one of my ancestors and it opened the floodgates and I spent all afternoon going back generations and finding out the reason I was hitting a brick wall with a GG-grandmother was because my cousin who had done the really heavy lifting had mispelled her last name (and badly). I ended up going back clear to 1500. I hope the site can help some of you who are looking. Happy hunting!
